Context: The importance of isometric trunk strength (ITS) among sport science professionals
is higher than its actual reported effect size on either performance or low back pain (LBP) …

Background Isokinetic testing of the trunk is ubiquitous in the literature and with training,
however, there is a lack of normative data for adolescents and adult athletes. Purpose The …

The aim of the study was to assess the differences in maximal isometric trunk extension and
flexion strength during standing, sitting and kneeling. Additionally, we were interested in …

Objective Sport specific consideration, different demands of various sports and specific
training reveal differences of trunk strength capacity. The purpose of this study was to …

Context: Lateral trunk-flexion strength is an important determinant of overall trunk stability
and function, but the reliability in measuring this outcome clinically in athletic individuals is …

Background: Isokinetic measurements are widely used to assess strength capacity in a
clinical or research context. Nevertheless, the validity of isokinetic measures for identifying …

Abstract Mueller, J, Mueller, S, Stoll, J, Baur, H, and Mayer, F. Trunk extensor and flexor
strength capacity in healthy young elite athletes aged 11–15 years. J Strength Cond Res 28 …

The role of trunk strength and range of motion (RoM) in low back pain (LBP) risk in athletes
is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare trunk muscle strength and RoM in …

A Kin-Corn dynamometer was used to evaluate trunk extensor and flexor strength in 11 elite
female field hockey players. Average torques during maximal concentric and eccentric …

Context: The trunk/pelvis is an important link between the upper-and lower-extremities.
Therefore, assessing strength of the trunk and hip muscles that control the segments is …
