已经开发了不同的方法来量化躯干肌肉的力量和耐力。然而，一些重要的协议特征仍然不清楚，这阻碍了在每种特定情况下选择最合适的测试。这项研究的目的是检验用于评估躯干肌肉力量和耐力的最常见类型的3种具有代表性的测试之间的可靠性和关系。对27名健康男性进行了两次测试，每次测试间隔1个月。采用等速测力仪和Biering-Sorensen测试和屈曲-旋转测试两项现场测试对躯干力量和耐力进行评估。除等速耐力变量具有中低可靠性(0.37<；ICC>；0.65)外，其余各项测试均具有较好的相对一致性(组内相关系数0.75)。等速测试的绝对可靠性似乎略好于现场测试，现场测试显示重测分数增加了约12%。测试得分之间没有显著的相关性。经过一段时间的现场测试熟悉后，这3个方案可以用来获得躯干肌肉力量和耐力的可靠测量。根据相关性分析，这些措施并不相关，这凸显了为每种情况选择最合适的树干测试的重要性。
Different methods have been developed to quantify trunk muscle strength and endurance. However, some important protocol characteristics are still unclear, hindering the selection of the most suitable tests in each specific situation. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and the relationship between 3 representative tests of the most common type of protocols used to assess trunk muscle strength and endurance. Twenty-seven healthy men performed each test twice spaced 1 month apart.Trunk strength and endurance were evaluated with an isokinetic dynamometer and 2 field tests including Biering-SOrensen test and Flexion-rotation trunk test.All tests showed a good relative consistency (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]> 0.75), except for the isokinetic endurance variables which had low-moderate reliability (0.37 < ICC > 0.65). Absolute reliability seemed slightly better in the isokinetic protocol than in the field tests, which showed about 12% of test-retest score increase. No significant correlations were found between test scores.After a familiarisation period for the field tests, the 3 protocols can be used to obtain reliable measures of trunk muscle strength and endurance. Based on the correlation analysis, these measures are not related, which highlights the importance of selecting the most suitable trunk test for each situation.
