Objective
To examine the validity and reliability of a sports-specific endurance plank test for the evaluation of global core muscle function. Design Repeated-measures study. Setting Laboratory environment. Participants Twenty-eight male and eight female young athletes. Main outcome measures Surface electromyography (sEMG) of selected trunk flexors and extensors, and an intervention of pre-fatigue core workout were applied for test validation. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (CV), and the measurement bias ratio *// ratio limits of agreement (LOA) were calculated to assess reliability and measurement error. Results Test validity was shown by the sEMG of selected core muscles, which indicated >50% increase in muscle activation during the test; and the definite discrimination of the ∼30% reduction in global core muscle endurance subsequent to a pre-fatigue core workout. For test-retest reliability, when the first attempt of three repeated trials was considered as familiarisation, the ICC was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.980.99), CV was 2.0 + 1.56% and the measurement bias ratio *// ratio LOA was 0.99 *// 1.07. Conclusion The findings suggest that the sport-specific endurance plank test is a valid, reliable and practical method for assessing global core muscle endurance in athletes given that at least one familiarisation trial takes place prior to measurement. |
