Body Mass Index (BMI), Kraus- Weber test, Sorenson test, Trunk Flexors Endurance (TFE), Trunk Extensors Endurance (TEE).

INTRODUCTION: The endurance of trunk muscles is very important as they are important stabilizers of spine and called as postural muscle. Student with prolong sitting had a risk of LBP as it requires higher trunk muscle endurance and decreasing this endurance could lead to future risk of low back pain. Therefore, it becomes important to find out trunk muscle endurance in student population. The purpose of this study is to find out correlation of Trunk muscle endurance with normal BMI. AIM: To evaluate the correlation between trunk muscle endurance and normal Body Mass Index among college student with sedentary lifestyle. METHOD: In this study, 56 participants with normal BMI and sedentary lifestyle were included based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The trunk flexors and extensors endurance were assessed by Kraus- Weber and Sorenson test respectively. The relationship of trunk flexors and extensors endurance with BMI was analysed using Karl Pearson correlation test. RESULTS: The results showed that BMI is not related with trunk flexor (r–0.08) and trunk extensor endurance (r -0.214). The TFE is positively correlated with TEE (r=0.58). Trunk extensor endurance was higher than trunk flexor endurance. CONCLUSION: The results of the study showed that there is no correlation between trunk flexors and extensor endurance. Also, there is strong positive relationship between trunk flexor and extensor endurance. Trunk extensor endurance was higher than trunk flexor endurance.
