Abstract:
Surface electromyography was performed for both heads of the biceps brachii in 11 healthy men while the muscles were under 30% maximum isometric shoulder flexion and abduction.

Elbow related biceps activity was minimized by using a brace locked in neutral forearm rotation. Electromyographic activity was normalized as a percentage of maximal muscle contraction during 24 shoulder motions.

Electromyographic activity was detected in all motions examined, suggesting that the biceps muscle acts as a flexor and an abductor of the shoulder. Both heads of the biceps muscle had higher activities during external rotation than during internal rotation for most motions.

Activities of both heads increased with arm elevation, but showed little dependence on elbow position. The long head was still active during internal rotation of the shoulder. These findings also suggest that the biceps muscle is a flexor and an abductor of the shoulder, and that the long head can act as a humeral head stabilizer in superior and anterior directions.
Muscle fatigue of the biceps and the deltoid muscle also was determined at 30% of maximum isometric flexion.

All muscles had significantly decreased mean power frequency and turns count, and increased amplitude and integrated electromyography. The rate of decrease in mean power frequency was larger for the biceps than for the deltoid muscle, and the rate of increase in amplitude was larger for the long head of the biceps than for the short head or for the deltoid muscle.

These findings suggest that the long head of the biceps must increase its mechanical output to keep the arm in elevation to a greater extent than do the short head and the deltoid muscle. This may be one of the causes of tendinitis or rupture of the long head.

No way dat je nog twijfelt aan de rol van biceps bij schouderbewegingen als je eens biceps tendonitis gehad hebt

ja zo kan het ook natuurlijk

hmm ik heb al sinds een jaar een blessure aan me rechter zijkant schouder. daarom train ik ook met zeer lichte gewichten en bouw dat steeds verder op. maar als ik iets zwaarder ga met bijvoorbeeld lateral side raise lijkt het wel of mijn rechter bicep de functie van de rechter schouder overneemt. ik voel dan ook de kracht voor een deel uit me biceps komen wat ik niet heb bij mijn linkerarm. dat komt dus omdat de bicep de 'helper' is van de schouder?
