Trunk extensor muscle endurance and its relationship to action potential conduction velocity and spectral parameters estimated using high-density electromyography

Trunk extensor muscle fatigue typically manifests as a decline in spectral content of surface electromyography. However, previous research on the relationship of this decline with trunk extensor muscle endurance have shown inconsistent results. The decline of spectral content mainly reflects the decrease in average motor unit action potential conduction velocity (CV). We evaluated whether the rate of change in CV, as well as two approaches employing the change in spectral content, are related to trunk extensor muscle endurance. Fourteen healthy male participants without a low-back pain history performed a non-strictly controlled static forward trunk bending trial until exhaustion while standing. For 13 participants, physiologically plausible CV estimates were obtained from high-density surface electromyography bilaterally from T6 to L5. Laterally between L1 and L2, the linear rate of CV change was strongly correlated to endurance time (R2 = 0.79), whereas analyses involving the linear rate of change in spectral measures showed a lower (R2 = 0.38) or no correlation. For medial electrode locations, estimating CV and its relationship with endurance time was less successful, while the linear rate of change in spectral measures correlated moderately to endurance time (R2 = 0.44; R2 = 0.56). This study provides guidance on monitoring trunk extensor muscle fatigue development using electromyography.
