“…Similarly, no gender differences existed in lumbar extensor muscle endurance and thoracolumbar curvatures in our study results that involved young adults. These results are in agreement with the results of an earlier study reporting lumbar extensor muscle endurance among young males and females (Bayraktar et al 2015). To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no previous studies reporting thoracolumbar curvatures among healthy young adults.…”

There is limited information regarding gender differences in spinal morphological attributes among healthy young adults although alterations have been reported to influence postural changes, mainly with forward-bending and extension postures. The aim of this preliminary study was to examine gender differences in spinal morphological attributes of lumbar extensor muscles that includes its muscle fibre angles, thickness, endurance and thoracolumbar curvature among young adults. Nineteen male and 26 female healthy young adults (aged 21-24 years) matched for age, body mass index and physical activity levels participated in this preliminary study. Fibre angles and thickness of lumbar extensor muscles were examined using ultrasonography. Lumbar extensor muscle endurance and thoracolumbar curvatures were assessed using Sorenson's test and a flexible ruler respectively. Paired t-test showed a significant mean difference (p < 0.01) between the right and left fibre angles. However, no significant mean difference (p = 0.50) was found between the right and left muscle thickness. Results of independent t-test showed a significant difference (p < 0.01) in muscle thickness between males and females. No significant differences were shown in right fibre angle (p = 0.12), left fibre angle (p = 0.89), muscle endurance (p = 0.46), thoracic curvature (p = 0.76) and lumbar curvature (p = 0.06) between genders. There were no gender differences in spinal morphological attributes except for lumbar extensor muscle thickness in young adults age between 21 to 24. This study data may be useful as an initial reference norm of spinal morphological attributes among young adults. Further studies may be required to examine the factors that may influence changes in spinal morphological attributes among healthy adults.

“…8,10,14 In patients with AS, atrophy has been shown to occur because of 25 In our study, the median values obtained by the participants in core endurance tests are very similar to those obtained by Acar et al 16 When the results from other studies that were conducted in different healthy populations were compared with our results, it was observed that the CME times of the AS patients in the present study were significantly lower than that of healthy population with similar ages. 16,24,26 Although fatigue is one of the main symptoms of AS, it has been vastly ignored for a long period. Approximately, 53% to 65% of individuals with AS experience chronic fatigue due to the physical and psychological factors and chronic inflammatory process of the disease.…”

Background/Objective: Core muscle endurance (CME), which is the ability of sustaining the activity of trunk muscles, has been shown to be lower in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The aim was to investigate the possible relationship between CME times and balance, fatigue, physical activity (PA) level, and thoracic kyphosis angle.Methods: Fifty-one patients with AS with a mean age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 25/75 years; 29.0/51.0 years) were included in the study. Core muscle endurance times were assessed by using trunk extension, trunk flexion, and side bridge tests. Overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index, mediolateral stability index, and limits of stability were evaluated with the Biodex Balance System. Fatigue and PA levels were surveyed using Fatigue Severity Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire, respectively. Thoracic kyphosis angle was measured by using a digital inclinometer. Additionally, CME times were compared for "high-fatigue" versus "low-fatigue" and as "low PA" versus "moderate/high PA" groups. Spearman correlation coefficients and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.Results: Significant correlations were detected between overall stability index, anteroposterior stability index, Fatigue Severity Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and all CME tests (p < 0.05) and between mediolateral stability index and side bridge test (p < 0.05). Limits of stability correlated only with side bridge test (p < 0.05). Core muscle endurance significantly differed between high-fatigue and low-fatigue groups (p < 0.05), except trunk flexor test (p > 0.05). No significant differences were observed between low PA and moderate/high PA groups (p > 0.05), except side bridge test (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Core muscle endurance times seem to be related to PA level, fatigue, and balance but not with thoracic kyphosis angle. Assessing CME in patients with AS might help in planning individualized exercise programs.

“…Studies have reported that results of the muscular balance are important, therefore judging according to the ratios, seems a more reliable method to decide a good core stability status 25 . The side bridge test assesses primarily the lateral core muscles.…”

“…Juker, McGILL, Kropf, Steffen 26 investigated this test with myoelectric equipment and reported it as the most effective way to assess and train the abdominal obliques with little psoas activity. The side bridge test has high intrarater reliability and has been suggested in the literature as an appropriate method to test lateral trunk muscle endurance in clinical environments 25 .…”

To compare the effects of different physical activities on laterality and asymmetry values through the side bridge test. Methods: the assessments were carried out in 45 subjects between 18 and 30 years old, 15 Crossfittrained individuals, 15 weight trained and 15 sedentary. The subjects performed the side bridge test on both sides. After checking the normality and homogeneity of the data, we selected the appropriate statistical analysis for the comparison of the variables, adopting a significance level of α <0.05. Results: there was no statistical difference in the balance ratio; however, significant difference was found in the side bridge test endurance time, in which the Crossfit group obtained longer times on both sides than the other two groups. The side bridge test is a test of simple execution and that in this study the Crossfit group presented better results in the endurance time in the side bridge test. Conclusion: the results of the ratio asymmetry and endurance time are not sufficient to evaluate the resistance of the core muscles but could be an evaluation tool, the side bridge test can be introduced in postural training programs.
