Abstract(in English) Electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded from the primary motor cortex is coherent with the contralateral electromyogram (EMG) of a contracted skeletal muscle, and coherence analysis can evaluate such linear correlation quantitatively. Magnitudes of EEG-EMG coherence vary among the healthy subjects, and it remains unclear what neuronal factors are possible modulators. therefore in this study, we recorded EEG-EMG coherence during isometric ankle plantarflexion form a total of 102 healthy young subjects. As aresult, 67 subjects showed statistically significant magnitudes of coherency (0.1 - 0.8). It is known that coherency is negatively correlated with steadiness in isometric force, so we next compared EEG-EMG coherence between the subjects with or without sports experiences. The result showed significant decrease of coherency in the subjects with sports experience. We concluded that EEG-EMG coherence decreases with sports experiences in order to archive precise motor control, whereas non-skilled healthy subjects showed various level of EEG-EMG coherency as an innate nature.
