A surface array electrode was used to investigate muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) and EMG power spectrum during voluntary isometric contraction of m. biceps brachii. The mean power frequency (MPF) and the total power (TP) at various locations of the muscle were obtained from the power spectrum. MFCV_S at various locations of the muscle were measured directly using the averaging method. The values of MPF, TP and MFCV were identified with respect to the electrode locations on the m. biceps brachii. MPF was shown as high near the end-plate and low near the tendon of the muscle during contraction of 40% of isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).TP showed low value near the end-plate and the tendon of the muscle fiber and different values at different location setting electrode during voluntary isometric contraction. TP at each location on the muscle surface increased when the contraction levels increased in the contractions range of 20 to 60 % MVC. MFCV_S showed a high value near the end-plate and the tendon of the muscle during the contraction of 40% MVC. These results indicated that MPF, TP and MFCV at different locations on the muscle were different along the length of the muscle fiber.
