Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the activation patterns of shoulder muscles during various kettlebell exercises.
  • Conducted a randomized cross-sectional design
  • Utilized surface electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activation
  • Involved common kettlebell, dumbbell, and elastic band exercises
  • Distinct activation profiles were observed for different shoulder muscles
  • Kettlebell exercises produced unique muscle activation patterns compared to dumbbell and elastic band exercises
  • Findings can assist in tailoring exercise programs for specific shoulder muscle targeting

Abstract

Kettlebell, dumbbell, and elastic band exercises elicit distinct shoulder muscle activation profiles. These findings may inform exercise selection and program design when targeting specific shoulder muscles within task-oriented training contexts.
