Effects of equine riding on static and dynamic mechanical contraction of the thighs and trunk muscles in inactive women. This study investigated whether equine riding affects static or dynamic mechanical contractions on the thighs and trunk muscles in inactive women. Methods: Participants consisted of 30 women with a mean (SD) age of 21.06 (0.44) years. They were randomly allotted as follows: equine group (EQG, n= 15) and control group (CON, n= 15). Two types of muscle contraction properties in their thighs and trunk were measured through a tensiomyography (static muscle tester) and an isokinetic device (dynamic muscle tester), respectively. Using the body weights of EQG and CON as covariates, a 2-way between-gr...
