- *This row indicates which exercise [denoted by a superscripted column number [i.e 1 = pulldown exercise] results in statistically significant [p < .05] muscle activity. This only compares across columns [different exercises] for the same muscle group. It doesn't compare different muscle groups within an exercise. Lats=Latissimus Dorsi, Biceps = Biceps Brachii, Ratio Lats:Biceps is the average muscle activation ratio between the latissimus dorsi and biceps brachii for each exercise tested. Pulldown = pronated grip pulldown, Reverse = Supinated grip pulldown, Slack = Seated row allowing scapulae protraction, Retract = Seated row with encouragement to retract the scapulae
