Abstract
The objective of this research was to identify the impact of the pre-competition phase on certain electromyographic (EMG) activity variables—specifically the electrical peak, root mean square (RMS), and activity area—of the deltoid muscle during the serving skill in sitting volleyball for athletes with physical disabilities. The study hypothesized that significant differences would be observed in the deltoid muscle's EMG activity before and after competition. The sample included eight players from the Iraqi national sitting volleyball team, and the experiment was conducted in the indoor hall of the College of Physical Education for Girls at the University of Baghdad from January 27 to February 25, 2010. The researcher concluded that the pre-competition phase had a significant effect on the EMG activity of the deltoid muscle during the serve. Based on these findings, the study recommends involving other upper limb muscles in future research, developing individualized training programs based on EMG data, and placing greater emphasis on EMG studies to enhance athletic performance in sitting volleyball.
