Data for: The mechanical loading and muscle activation of four common exercises used in osteoporosis prevention for early postmenopausal women

Fourteen postmenopausal women completed randomised countermovement jumps (CMJ), box drops (BD), heel drops (HD) and stamp (STP) exercises for continuous and intermittent conditions. Sacrum accelerometry (ACC) and surface electromyography (EMG) of four muscles were recorded. Peak acceleration (Peak ACC), acceleration gradient (Grad ACC) and mean EMG for the rectus femoris (RF EMG), semitendinosus (ST EMG), tibialis anterior (TA EMG) and lateral gastrocnemius (GL EMG) were calculated.
