Abstract

In this paper the concept of the electromyogram EMG and how the surface electromyogram SEMG signal is obtained have been given. Electromyogram system offers a great benefit to the sport field application. Due to their requirements SEMG systems has been designed and implemented. This system consists of three basic units. These units are: Detection, signal conditioning, and signal processing. It provides measurement of electrical activity of muscles, efficiency of electrical activity, explosion power (response velocity), and fatigue degree. These parameters are most vital to physical assessment in the sports field.
