Isometric Core Muscle Endurance in Healthy Active and Non-active Working Age Populations
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating isometric core muscle endurance testing for Physical Endurance. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible correlation between core muscle endurance and participants' age in healthy adult population. Secondary purpose was to identify other dependent variables influencing isometric core muscle endurance (e.g. low back pain, physical activity, gender, body mass index). Methods: 48 (35 females, 13 males) healthy adults (aged 21-66 years) performed 4 isometric core muscle endurance tests- Biering-Sorensen, McGill V-sit, right and left side plank. A correlation between core endurance and age, gender, lower back pain (LBP), physical activity level (PAL), and body mass index (BMI) was calculated.
