Why Ratio Normalization Fails to Partition Structural and EMG- Amplitude Contributions to Jump Force Change
Adam Bloebaum and I ran this study to better understand whether changes in lower body lean mass and surface-EMG activity could explain changes in jump force production. We found that lower body lean mass change was a more stable predictor of changes in jump concentric impulse than surface-EMG peak amplitude, which did not provide a reliable intra-athlete signal of neural adaptation.
