Abstract

Electromyography (EMG) is an electro diagnostic medicine method used for measuring an electrical activity of skeletal muscles and nerves that control muscles. Beside the medicine, EMG is also used for measuring a local muscle load and for the purpose of this research EMG was used for determination of utilization of individual great muscles in self-defense techniques. The aim was obtaining new inputs for artificial neural networks. Simultaneously this research proceeds on previous project and researches.
