Background Taking into account, that many recent research papers about functional anatomy, emphasized strong connections between motor cerebral areas and pre-frontal ones and that professional training performed on a period of time longer than 5 years, produced cerebral hemispheres functional plastic modifications, we consider opportune, to study the effects of long term physical effort, over cerebral activity at athletes, with a professional sportive experience longer than 5 years, from different sports as handba...

Background Our research aimed to outline the muscular activity characteristics at athletes, with the help of sEMG parameters indexes, at the same time, trying to prove their relevance, in defining, from electrophysiological point of view, the corresponding studied sports. Methods We have studied a group formed of 22 male athletes, 11 fencers and 11 volleyball players, active for at least 6 years, exclusively in either one of the studied sports, with homogeneous average ages, heights, weights and training regime.
