DISCUSSION<br />

This study investigated muscle activity during walking in a normobaric hypoxic<br />

environment. There was a tendency, albeit not significant, for the iEMG of all<br />

muscles monitored during the hypoxic walks to be greater than that observed in the<br />

normoxic walks. Significantly higher iEMG was observed only in MG during the 2<br />

km/h walk, and in BF during the 4 km/h walk.<br />
