Effect of stretching duration for lumbar muscles on electrical activity and stability of multifidus and lumbar iliocostal muscles

Conditions

Sedentary behavior

Interventions

The volunteers (n = 46) were submitted, in random order, to four experimental conditions performed in 4 different visits: control group (did not perform stretching, just remained supine for 30 seconds
b) during the intervention targeted by the visit
c) post intervention in the neutral orthostatic position. As this is a cross-sectional study, all participants participated in all groups (n = 46 for all groups).

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Volunteers with no history of spinal or lower limb disorders, whether acute or chronic, in the last 12 months; and who did not practice physical activity regularly and systematically for at least twice a week

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Volunteers with a history of abdominal, hip and spine surgery, regardless of the time taken; pregnant women; that made use of muscle relaxants; that did not meet the entire collection schedule; or EMG signals with poor record quality.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Significant reduction (p> 0.05) in myoelectric activity (both in the root mean square - RMS and in the median frequency spectrum) of the lumbar multifidus when comparing the pre and post intervention values (Stretching Knees on Chest supported by 10, 30 and 60 seconds);The stretching of the paravertebral muscles using the “Knees in the Chest” technique of the Williams series, sustained for 10, 30 and 60 seconds, did not produce acute changes in the mydrogenic activity of the multifidus, neither in the domain of time nor frequency

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Significant decrease (p> 0.05) in the static and dynamic stability of the lumbopelvic region when comparing the values before and after stretching "Knees in the chest" sustained for 10, 30 and 60 seconds, measured using the Miostab device;The stretching of the paravertebral muscles using the “Knees in the Chest” technique of the Williams series, sustained for 10, 30 and 60 seconds, did not produce significant changes in the static and dynamic stability of the lumbopelvic region when comparing the pre and post intervention values, measured using the Miostab device
