To begin this process, we placed electrodes on 3 parts of our dominant forearm. We then began clenching; this happened four times, with each clench being stronger than the previous one. On the last clench, we clenched the hand dynamometer as tight and as long as possible in order to fatigue the muscles. We repeated this step for the dominant and non-dominant arm. We recorded all of this information, which is shown in table 1. In the second activity, one member of our group was wired up with the EMG cable and electrodes. One pair of recording electrodes was placed over the Pronator teres muscle on the anterior part of the forearm. A second pair of electrodes was placed over the Biceps brachii on the upper arm. Another electrode was placed on the abdomen. First a simulated recording was done: person was losing, no activity was done then person was winning. The actual arm-wrestling happened after this and again, the information was recorded. Each group in our class followed this procedure. We then took the absolute area average and time as shown in table
