The aim of this study was to establish normative values for torso muscle endurance in adolescents aged 15-18 years. It was hypothesized that torso endurance profiles of adolescents differs between males and females and between adolescents and adults.
Decreased torso muscle endurance has been identified as a potential personal risk factor for low back pain development in both adolescents and later years together with being detrimental for athletic performance.
Measurement of torso muscle endurance, established through four tests performed in random order in a healthy adolescent population.
High school in Novi Sad, Province of Vojvodina, Republic of Serbia.
Two hundred and ninety-four adolescents from one high school (178 males and 116 females) were grouped into four age strata. Selected isometric torso muscle endurance tests were: Biering-Sørensen test for extensor endurance; Flexor endurance test; right and left Side Bridge tests. The mean, ratio, standard deviation and 25th, 50th and 75th percentile scores were determined for each gender/age strata.
Males had higher lateral torso endurance than females. Adolescents in general demonstrate their peak lifetime endurance as they appear more endurable than children and comparable adult groups. These data of endurance times, their ratios and percentiles in healthy normal subjects form a database bridging existing data for children and adults that may be useful for guiding training and rehabilitation.
本研究旨在确立15 - 18岁青少年躯干肌肉耐力的正常值。研究假设青少年的躯干耐力特征在男性和女性之间以及青少年与成年人之间存在差异。
躯干肌肉耐力下降已被确定为青少年及成年后患下背痛的潜在个人风险因素，同时对运动表现也有不利影响。
通过对健康青少年人群随机进行四项测试来测量躯干肌肉耐力。
塞尔维亚共和国伏伊伏丁那省诺维萨德的一所高中。
来自一所高中的294名青少年（178名男性和116名女性）被分为四个年龄层。所选的等长躯干肌肉耐力测试包括：用于伸肌耐力的 Biering - Sørensen 测试；屈肌耐力测试；右侧和左侧侧桥测试。确定了每个性别/年龄层的平均值、比率、标准差以及第25、50和75百分位数得分。
男性的躯干外侧耐力高于女性。总体而言，青少年展现出其一生中的耐力峰值，因为他们看起来比儿童和成年对照组更具耐力。这些健康正常受试者的耐力时间、比率和百分位数数据形成了一个连接儿童和成人现有数据的数据库，可能有助于指导训练和康复。
