The purpose of this study was to conduct electromyographic analysis of strength training practiced on the lower trapezius muscle, and to compare and examine the training. The subjects were nine healthy men, and the third type of training (“Y”, “A”, “U” exercises) for the lower trapezius muscle was performed, and the muscle activity of the upper, middle, lower trapezius and posterior deltoid was performed. % MVC was compared. “Y” showed significantly higher muscle activity in all muscles than “U” and “A”, and “U” showed significantly higher muscle activity in all muscles than “A”. From the above results, “Y” is considered to be the most promising for strengthening the lower trapezius muscle, and “U” is considered to be an effective training when strengthening the lower trapezius muscle while extending the extension of the thoracic spine.
