"Objective To establish torso muscle endurance values in children aged 7 to 14 years, as well as ratios between torso extensors, flexors, and lateral torso flexors, with applications in clinical assessment, rehabilitation, physical education targets, and athletic training program designs. It was hypothesized that boys and girls mature differently in terms of torso muscle endurance. Design Measurements of torso muscle endurance were performed by using 4 tests in healthy children. Setting Elementary school in Novi Sad, Province of Vojvodina, Republic of Serbia. Participants Children from 1 elementary school (N=753, n=394 boys and n=359 girls) were grouped into 8 age strata. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Four tests established isometric physical endurance: Biering–Sørensen test for extensor endurance, flexor endurance test, and right- and left-side bridge tests. The mean, ratio, standard deviation, and 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile scores were determined for each sex/age stratum. Results A 2-way analysis of variance indicated that girls had higher mean endurance times for torso extension and torso flexion than did boys. For example, times measured by using Biering–Sørensen and right-side bridge tests were significantly greater for girls than for boys across all age groups (P<.023 boys can sustain the side torso test longer than girls. furthermore muscle endurance is under significant impact of age. tukey honestly difference post hoc tests confirmed that within and between sex exist differences in mean times all age strata at significance level p=".05.<br"> Conclusion Both age and sex influence differences in torso endurance in children aged 7 to 14 years. These data of endurance times, their ratios, and percentiles in healthy subjects form a database that may be useful for providing training and rehabilitation targets." |
