The data have been assessed during a 5-min trunk extension exercise in order to investigate the agonist and antagonist muscles implication during a prolonged trunk extension exercise and to determine the relationship with paraspinal muscle metabolic and hemodynamic responses in healthy individuals. Sixteen young and healthy subjects performed a 5-minute exercise of trunk extension. During the exercise, the paraspinal muscle deoxygenation was assessed using near infrared spectroscopy. Electromyography was used to assess the neuromuscular function of paraspinal muscles, biceps femoris, gastrocnemii and rectus abdominis.

The data made available here are:

EMG data (RMS and MPF) collected at each trunk extension; the maximum RMS for each electrode during a maximal contraction; NRS data exported at 0.2 hertz.

Results and discussion about these data have been recently submitted for publication in a scientific journal.
