Resistance exercises are effective for maintaining health and activating stabilizing muscles, as they trigger abdominal wall tension responses. This study compared the effects of multi-joint and single-joint, upper-body and lower-body exercises (Lat pulldown, Rows, Peck deck, Chest press, Biceps curls, Triceps extensions, French-Press, Step up, Hip abduction/adduction, Squat, Leg press, Romanian deadlift, Hamstring curls) performed at maximal and submaximal intensities.
This cross-sectional study included 12 men and 18 women (age:47.8 ± 5.9 years, height:174.8 ± 10.2 cm, weight: 77.7 ± 15.4 kg, BMI:25.3 ± 3.6), who wore a noninvasive sensor Ohmbelt to measure abdominal wall tension performing exercises at 15 repetition maximum (RM), 10RM, 5RM, and 1RM. Differences across exercises and sex were compared by Friedman test with Durbin-Conover post-hoc, and intensities were analyzed by Wilcoxon test.
The study found significant differences (p < 0.05) in abdominal wall tension changes based on the type of exercise and training intensity. Multi-joint lower-body exercises, such as the Romanian deadlift, dumbbell front squat, and leg press, led to the greatest increases in abdominal tension in both sexes in comparison to single-joint upper-body exercises. Males had higher abdominal wall tension changes than females (p < 0.05) at 1RM, 5RM, and 10RM. However, no significant difference was found at 15RM, indicating that lower intensities produce similar abdominal wall tension changes in both sexes.
This study showed that multi-joint lower-body exercises were found to produce greatest abdominal wall tension increases, especially compared to single-joint upper-body exercises. The abdominal wall tension was higher in males than females due to higher loads, emphasizing the need for exercise-specific approaches.
抗阻运动对于维持健康和激活稳定肌是有效的，因为它们会引发腹壁张力反应。本研究比较了多关节和单关节、上半身和下半身运动（下拉、划船、蝴蝶机夹胸、卧推、二头肌弯举、三头肌伸展、法式推举、上台阶、髋外展/内收、深蹲、腿举、罗马尼亚硬拉、腿弯举）在最大强度和次最大强度下的效果。
这项横断面研究纳入了12名男性和18名女性（年龄：47.8±5.9岁，身高：174.8±10.2厘米，体重：77.7±15.4千克，体重指数：25.3±3.6），他们佩戴无创传感器欧姆带，在15次重复最大值（RM）、10RM、5RM和1RM的情况下进行运动时测量腹壁张力。通过Friedman检验及Durbin-Conover事后检验比较不同运动和性别的差异，并通过Wilcoxon检验分析强度。
研究发现，基于运动类型和训练强度，腹壁张力变化存在显著差异（p<0.05）。与单关节上半身运动相比，多关节下半身运动，如罗马尼亚硬拉、哑铃前蹲和腿举，在两性中均导致最大的腹部张力增加。在1RM、5RM和10RM时，男性的腹壁张力变化高于女性（p<0.05）。然而，在15RM时未发现显著差异，表明较低强度在两性中产生相似的腹壁张力变化。
本研究表明，多关节下半身运动能产生最大的腹壁张力增加，尤其是与单关节上半身运动相比。由于负荷较高，男性的腹壁张力高于女性，强调了针对特定运动采取不同方法的必要性。
