Abstract :
This paper suggests possibility for detecting recruitment of fast muscle fiber on increasing load tests by multiresolution analysis of surface electromyograms (sEMGs). Recruitment of the muscle fiber can be guessed from a graph of power ratio vs. % maximum voluntary contraction concerning the detail at each level, RPD(j). RPD(j)s are extracted parameters from multiresolution analysis of sEMGs. The sEMGs were recorded from the biceps brachii in five healthy males
