Assessing and comparing the muscular endurance of the major spine-stabilising muscles of jumpers

The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the muscular endurance of the major spine-stabilising muscles of jumpers. A total of 50 male jumpers were chosen as samples (n = 50) for data collection. The subjects are jumpers who represented and competed in intercollegiate and interuniversity championships. The selected subjects are between the ages of 18 and 25, and the study is restricted to the Dakshina Kannada district. For the purpose of data collection McGill’s torso muscular endurance test battery was used to measure the major spine stabilizing muscles. Using an advanced Excel workbook and a significance level of 0.05, the collected data was treated by mean, standard deviation, and t test. The study concluded that there is no difference in muscular endurance between the trunk flexion and trunk extensor muscles in male jumpers. The findings were represented using appropriate figures and tables.
