Neural
Mean electromyography activity of the infraspinatus was significantly greater in neutral grip compared with pronated grip (p = 0.002; 95% CI = 3.7-13.6% maximal voluntary isometric contraction).
Adopting a neutral grip during reverse fly exercises may improve infraspinatus activation.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Similarly, mean electromyography activity of the infraspinatus also was significantly greater in NEU compared with PRO (p = 0.002; 95% CI = 3.7-13.6% maximal voluntary isometric contraction).
