Abstract

This study aimed to identify the immediate effects of quadrupedal walking on sandy and
general ground as well as and the activities of the serratus anterior muscles in healthy adults.
34 health adults were randomly assigned to the 2 groups based on the exercises they
performed the sandy group (n = 18), the general group (n = 16) For the measurements prior to
the experimental exercises, the activities of the serratus anterior muscles were measured
using surface electromyography of during push-up plus end of motion. The same
measurements were taken after the 30-minute exercise trial, and the results were compared.
A paired t-test was used to assess the differences between the effects of the pre- and postexercise on scapular muscle activation in each group and independent t-test was used to
assess the differences between the each group. In EMG activity of the serratus anterior
compared with the quadrupedal walking on sandy and general ground (P < 0.05). The serratus
anterior showed increased activation on sandy ground, which required more joint stability
than did the general ground.
Based on the results, the quadrupedal walking sandy group demonstrated significantly
increased serratus anterior activity in the push up plus exercise. As proved by the quadrupedal
walking on sandy exercise, the shoulder complex exercise was stabilizing the serratus
anterior muscle therefore quadrupedal walking on sandy exercise can be to replace push up
plus exercise.
