Evaluation of Trunk Endurance in Female Physiotherapy Students Using McGill Core Endurance Test
This cross-sectional study evaluates trunk endurance using the McGill Core Endurance Test among female physiotherapy students. Results indicate significantly lower endurance compared to normative values (p<0.001), suggesting implications for musculoskeletal health and professional performance. Trunk endurance, critical for maintaining posture, injury prevention, and task performance, warrants emphasis in physiotherapy training. Studies, including Hanney et al. (2016), highlight its importance for professional efficacy and health outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore targeted interventions.
