The aim of the present study was to analyze the reliability and the variability of the amplitude and frequency of the electromyographic signal of the longuissimus toracis and multifidus muscles of the right and left sides during maximum isometric voluntary contractions. Twenty male subjects have participated of this study. To the EMG signal acquisition it were used bipolares passives electrodes placed over the longissimus toracis and multifidus muscles. The analysis shows high reliability values to the load cell (0.96), and to the spectral variables to the longissimus toracis muscle (0.90-0.97). the multifidus muscles have shown reliabilities values between fair to high (0.70-0.95). The methodological design presented to the understanding of the longissimus toracis and multifidus muscles resistance have shown reliable, due high values of the reliabilities to the variables.Downloads
