Abstract
Introduction: The Core musculature involves all the muscle groups located in the middle area of the body whose
activity can be measured using superficial electromyography (sEMG), a clinical methodology for recording and subsequent analysis of skeletal muscle bioelectric activities. Objectives: The objective of this research is to determine if there are differences in electromyographic activity in the muscles of the rectus abdominis and external oblique between bodybuilding practitioners and calisthenics practitioners. Methodology: A comparative study, non-experimental design, cross-sectional with a quantitative approach in a sample of 20 subjects; 10 calisthenics practitioners and 10 who train with classic bodybuilding exercises. Results: The exercises with the greatest electromyographic response were abdominal in suspension and abdominal incline. Conclusions: Calisthenics is a viable alternative for muscle activation at the Core level.
