One of the main playing activities of an individual that depends on the success or failure of a team is setting. The setting is characterised by the action as the beating of a ball after a pass to the attacker. One of the main muscle groups that are important to beachvolleyball players is hamstrings. Hamstrings help with lower leg flexion in the knee and help with lower leg extension in the hip joint. The study aims to assess hamstring activity in selected gaming activity. We assume that the involvement of the right and left sides in the setting at the bottom and in the setting at the top will be the same.
The main method used for data collection was measurement using surface electromyography. The Ultium (Noraxon, USA) instrument was used to collect the data, along with the Nixon camera system.
Mann Whitney U test was used for statistical calculations The results indicate that the parties are symmetrically involved in the setting. However, a statistically significant difference occurs between the setting using the upper and lower strokes of the right bicep (P = 0,0337) and the right semitendinosus (P = 0,0097). We can conclude from the results that there should be no muscular imbalance in the setting.
