Abstract
Few studies of the kinematic features of arm wrestling exercise have been published. The purpose of this study was to initiate a concrete analysis of the kinematic characteristics and muscular activities involved in arm wrestling exercise. 12 healthy male volunteers were recruited in this study. The pectoralis major (PMJ) showed significantly higher muscle activity in winning position than in losing position (p=.039) and had significant influence on arm wrestling outcome (
