Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal case study that employed a quantitative approach, developed with schoolchildren from a school located in the South Brazil. The initial sample consisted of 221 students (58.8% boys) aged 6 to 11 years evaluated in 2018 (baseline). The same group of students was reevaluated in 2023 (follow-up) when they were aged 11 to 16 years. The assessment of isometric strength in the plank test was conducted by adapting the \"core\" strength test. The test was performed twice within the same session, and the best measurement was recorded. Additionally, a retest was conducted 7 days later. The abdominal resistance strength was evaluated through the sit-up test, according to the protocol of Projeto Esporte Brasil. Results: Regarding the results of the pre-pandemic (baseline) compared to the post-pandemic (follow-up) in girls, a significant negative effect over the 5-year period was observed in the comparison of raw values for isometric strength in the Plank Test's first three measurements at baseline, compared to the follow-up. Similar 5-year negative effects were observed in boys as those seen in girls, both in the raw values, and in the age-adjusted values, where no significant differences were found. Conclusion: isometric strength levels on the Plank test remained stable over the 5-year period, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating consistent core strength in schoolchildren.","PeriodicalId":21942,"journal":{"name":"Sport Sciences for Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141811212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
