Objective: The structures in the human body are biomechanically and anatomically interconnected. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the effects of the Chair Pose, Sage Marichi Pose C (c), Warrior 2 Pose, and Extended Triangle Pose on Adductor Longus (AL), External Oblique (EO), Biceps Femoris (BF), and Latissimus Dorsi (LD) muscle activity in young, older, and elderly individuals.
Methods: Six elderly individuals were included in the study. Participants’ myofascial chain activity evaluated with surface electromyography (EMG) during Utkatasana, Virabhadrasana II, Utthita Trikonasana and Marichyasana C pose.
Results: The participants’ Adductor Longus, External Oblique, Biceps Femoris, and Latissimus Dorsi % maximum voluntary isometric contraction values did not show significant difference. During the Utkatasana pose, the Latissimus Dorsi showed greater electromyography (EMG) activity compared to AL, EQ, and BF. During the Virabhadrasana II pose, EQ had greater EMG activity compared to AL, LD, and BF. During the Utthita Trikonasana pose, LD had greater EMG activity compared to AL, EQ, and BF. During the Marichyasana C pose, BF had greater EMG activity compared to LD, EQ, and AL.
Conclusions: This study showed with biomechanical data that muscle groups containing anterior and posterior myofascial chains work more effectively in different yoga poses and emphasized the importance of a holistic approach in elderly individuals.

Amaç İnsan vücudundaki yapılar biyomekanik ve anatomik olarak birbirine bağlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Sandalye Duruşu, Sage Marichi Duruşu C (c), Savaşçı 2 Duruşu ve Uzatılmış Üçgen Duruşu'nun genç, yaşlı ve ileri yaştaki bireylerde Adduktor Longus (AL), Dış Oblik (EO), Biceps Femoris (BF) ve Latissimus Dorsi (LD) kas aktivitesi üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek ve karşılaştırmaktır.
Yöntemler: Altı yaşlı birey çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcıların miyofasyal zincir aktivitesi Utkatasana, Virabhadrasana II, Utthita Trikonasana ve Marichyasana C duruşları sırasında yüzey elektromiyografisi (EMG) ile değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar: Katılımcıların Adductor Longus, External Oblique, Biceps Femoris ve Latissimus Dorsi % maksimum istemli izometrik kasılma değerleri anlamlı farklılık göstermedi. Utkatasana duruşu sırasında Latissimus Dorsi, AL, EQ ve BF'ye kıyasla daha fazla elektromiyografi (EMG) aktivitesi gösterdi. Virabhadrasana II duruşu sırasında EQ, AL, LD ve BF'ye kıyasla daha fazla EMG aktivitesine sahipti. Utthita Trikonasana duruşu sırasında LD, AL, EQ ve BF'ye kıyasla daha fazla EMG aktivitesine sahipti. Marichyasana C duruşu sırasında BF, LD, EQ ve AL'ye kıyasla daha fazla EMG aktivitesine sahipti.
Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma, anterior ve posterior miyofasiyal zincirleri içeren kas gruplarının farklı yoga pozlarında daha etkili çalıştığını biyomekanik verilerle göstermiş ve yaşlı bireylerde bütüncül yaklaşımın önemini vurgulamıştır.
