Trunk muscles maintain steady effort with adequate strength and endurance. When the muscle performance is subpar, it might cause lower back discomfort. No reference for trunk strength and endurance has been established previously. The aim of this study was to determine the normative reference values for dynamometric and non-dynamometric tests in people with various body fat percentages. Two hundred sixty-four participants aged 19-40 years old were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The Siri equation was used to calculate the individuals body fat proportions, which were divided into normal, high, and very high body fat for men and women. The Modified Sorenson's and the Back-Leg-Chest Dynamometric tests were utilized to measure muscular performance. The means of strength in females with normal, high, and very high body fat percentages were 27.39, 25.75, and 25.37 N/m, respectively. The males in the same category had the means of 56.48, 51.79, and 60.17 N/m, respectively. The highest mean of endurance in females was in those with normal body fat percentage (42.28), so did males (71.02). Our findings suggest that males had higher trunk muscle strength and endurance than females, and normal-body-fat individuals had the greatest endurance regardless of gender.
躯干肌肉保持稳定的努力,具有足够的力量和耐力。当肌肉性能不佳时,可能会导致下背部不适。以前没有建立过躯干力量和耐力的参考值。本研究的目的是确定不同体脂百分比人群的动力和非动力测试的正常参考值。本横断面研究共招募了 264 名 19-40 岁的参与者。使用 Siri 方程计算个体体脂比例,将男性和女性分为正常、高和极高体脂。使用改良 Sorenson's 和后肢-胸部测力测试来测量肌肉性能。体脂百分比正常、高和极高的女性的力量平均值分别为 27.39、25.75 和 25.37 N/m,而同一类别的男性的平均值分别为 56.48、51.79 和 60.17 N/m。女性耐力的最高平均值出现在体脂百分比正常的人群中(42.28),男性也如此(71.02)。我们的研究结果表明,男性的躯干肌肉力量和耐力高于女性,无论性别如何,正常体脂的个体都具有最大的耐力。
