“…Overall, the research in this field is mainly focused on associations of strength and/or endurance of the core muscles with different abilities, such as hand-eye coordination in non-athletes with LBP ( Reddy et al, 2017 ), knee valgus during single-leg squat in male junior athletes ( Affandi et al, 2019 ), agility in professional basketball players ( Cengizhan et al, 2019 ), scapular muscle endurance in professional athletes of basketball, football and handball ( Cobanoglu et al, 2019 ), and balance in subjects with osteoarthritis knee ( Joshi et al, 2019 ). The McGill test and double leg lowering test correlate with performance in the vertical jump, 40 yard dash, medicine ball throw and T tests significantly more than with 60-s sit-ups, indicating that core muscle endurance is important for optimal athletic performance (Shaikh et al, 2009).…”

While force-velocity-power characteristics of resistance exercises, such as bench presses and squats, have been well documented, little attention has been paid to load, force, and power-velocity relationships in exercises engaging core muscles. Given that power produced during lifting tasks or trunk rotations plays an important role in most sport-specific and daily life activities, its measurement should represent an important part of the test battery in both athletes and the general population. The aim of this scoping review was 1) to map the literature related to testing methods assessing core muscle strength and stability in sport and rehabilitation, chiefly studies with particular focus on force-velocity-power characteristics of exercises involving the use of core muscles, 2) and to identify gaps in existing studies and suggest further research in this field. The literature search was conducted on Cochrane Library databases, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and MEDLINE, which was completed by SpringerLink, Google Scholar and Elsevier. The inclusion criteria were met in 37 articles. Results revealed that among a variety of studies investigating the core stability and core strength in sport and rehabilitation, only few of them analyzed force–velocity–power characteristics of exercises involving the use of core muscles. Most of them evaluated maximal isometric strength of the core and its endurance. However, there are some studies that assessed muscle power during lifting tasks at different loads performed either with free weights or using the Smith machine. Similarly, power and velocity were assessed during trunk rotations performed with different weights when standing or sitting. Nevertheless, there is still scant research investigating the power-velocity and force-velocity relationship during exercises engaging core muscles in able-bodied and para athletes with different demands on stability and strength of the core. Therefore, more research is needed to address this gap in the literature and aim research at assessing strength and power-related measures within cross-sectional and intervention studies. A better understanding of the power-force-velocity profiles during exercises with high demands on the core musculature has implications for designing sport training and rehabilitation programs for enhancement of athletes’ performance and/or decrease their risk of back pain.

Aim: Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) is recognized as one of the risk factors for musculoskeletal impairments. This study aimed to evaluate core muscle endurance, upper extremity muscle strength, grip strength, and hand-eye coordination in young adults with GJH. Method: This is a cross-sectional and observational study. Twenty-seven young adults with GJH, aged 17–26 years, and an age-matched group of 27 young adults without GJH were recruited in the study. All participants performed core muscle endurance tests, upper extremity muscle strength test, hand-grip and pinch-grip strength tests, and the alternate hand-wall toss test. Results: Considering the descriptive features, no statistically significant differences were identified between the groups (p>0.05). The mean Beighton score was 5.26±2.38 in the GJH group, which indicates joint hypermobility (p<0.001). While a significant difference was found between the groups for the trunk flexion test (p = 0.002), right side plank test (p=0.013), and left side plank test (p=0.039) in the tests of core muscle endurance, there was no significant difference in the trunk extension test (p=0.532), horizontal plank test (p=0.190), and alternate hand wall toss test (p=0.127). Conclusion: The young adults in the present study who had been grouped as having GJH (Beighton score≥4) showed a decline in upper extremity strength, grip strength, and core muscle endurance. This study, in combination with the findings of the literature, suggests that a comprehensive screening program for the early recognition of GJH is required to prevent musculoskeletal problems.
