<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of seat height and foot position in the sagittal plane on L5-S1 joint load. Fourteen healthy male adults stood up from a chair with three different seat heights and positions of the feet in the sagittal plane. L5-S1 net joint torque, mechanical work, range of motion and electromyographic activity of the erector spinae muscle were measured. L5-S1 net joint work increased by about 50% from high to low seat position. The mean and peak L5-S1 net joint torques increased about 30% from foot-back to foot-neutral position. These results were reinforced by a greater integrated electromyography signal from the erector spinae from high to low seat position and from foot-back to foot-neutral position. A high chair and placement of the feet behind the knees may be advisable to lessen lumbar load during sit-to-stand movements.</dc:description>
