Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to supply students with suggestions regarding preparation for recording the electromyogram, such as the types of electrodes available, situations in which each has proven satisfactory, and the best methods of application for each type. It is also intended to provide a background for understanding and interpreting electromyograms recorded during kinesiological research, including suggestions for recognition of spread of action potentials from active to inactive tissue, recognition and interpretation of common artefacts, and substantiation of the interpretation by movement analysis based upon sound kinesiological principles.
