| Abstract |
The flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP) has been widely investigated. Nevertheless, no study has been reported on the FRP as well as spasm response to large lifting load. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of large lifting load on the FRP response and spasm during execution of a flexion-extension exercise. Twenty-two healthy male university students without low back pain history participated this study. Subjects randomly performed three trials of trunk flexion-extension cycles of 5 s flexion and 5 s extension in each of 4 conditions (three large lifting loads of 15, 20 and 25 kg and one lifting load of 0 kg for comparison). Surface EMG from bilateral erector spinae was recorded during the performance of a trunk anterior flexion-extension exercise. The relaxation phase was determined through the onset of electromyography (EMG) signals. Spasm was evaluated in the relaxation period. The mean normalized electromyography (NEMG) was derived from the raw EMG. Spasm was observed in more than 45% of the individuals and the intensity of muscle activation was increased by more than 78% in the relaxation phase. A large lifting load could lead to a high prevalence of spasms as well as a high intensity of muscle activations on erector spinae muscle in the relaxation period, which may be associated with the development of low back disorder during the performance of a flexion-extension exercise. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 December 2020.
All research outputs
#7,091,010
of 25,269,846 outputs
Outputs from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#1,297
of 4,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#129,635
of 451,828 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
#33
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,269,846 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,384 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 451,828 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
