Abstract

Physical activity is an activity of body movement by utilizing skeletal muscles that is carried out daily. One form of physical activity is an exercise that aims to improve health and fitness. Parameters related to health and fitness are heart and muscle activity. Strong and prolonged muscle contractions result in muscle fatigue. To measure muscle fatigue, the authors used electromyographic (EMG) signals through monitoring changes in muscle electrical activity. This study aims to make a tool to detect the effect of muscle fatigue on cardiac signals on physical activity. This research method uses Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with one group pre-test-post-test research design. The independent variable is the EMG signal when doing plank activities, while the dependent variable is the result of monitoring the EMG signal. To get more detailed measurement results, the authors use MPF, MDF and MNF and perform a T-test. The test results showed a significant value (pValue <0.05) in the pre-test and post-test. The Pearson correlation test got a value of 0.628 which indicates there is a strong relationship between exercise frequency and plank duration. When the respondent experiences muscle fatigue, the heart signal is affected by noise movement artifacts that appear when doing the plank. It is concluded that the tools in this study can be used properly. To overcome noise in the EMG signal, it is recommended to use dry electrodes and high-quality components. To improve the ability to transmit data, it is recommended to use a Raspberry microcontroller.
