“…Among many studies [19,27,28], tests using various trunk positions are the most accessible method for assessing CVSR under load. The body of research on trunk flexion and extension provides important insights for spine health and functionality [16,18,20,28].…”

Background and Study Aim. Multiple factors affect the health condition of students. In this regard, a key preventative measure is observing the students' level of physical preparedness. The aim of the study is to assess the cardiovascular system response of students to physical exercise using the 'Trunk Flexion Test'. Material and Methods. This study included 77 students from the physical education faculties of three universities in Ukraine, comprising 34 males and 43 females. The cardiovascular system's response was gauged using the 'Trunk Forward Flexion Test'. Data on participants were compiled through Google Form. Statistical evaluation was conducted using PyCharm CE and Python programming libraries. ANOVA was utilized to determine the differences in cardiovascular responses among students, and Pearson's correlation coefficient explored the relationship between body mass index and cardiovascular function. Results. Research findings show gender-based disparities in cardiovascular system responses (CVSR). Women outperformed men in achieving 'Excellent' ratings. Women also led in 'Good' and 'Average' evaluations, while men were more likely to be in 'Undesirable' and 'Hazardous' categories. Differences were noted in body mass index. The proportion of students with normal weight differed by university. The prevalence of overweight varied among universities. The occurrence of 'Underweight' and 'Obese' also varied by university. An elevation in body mass index was correlated with a decline in CVSR in men. Conclusions. Variations in CVSR highlight the importance of implementing wellness initiatives and encouraging students to enhance their physical activity levels.

“…Researchers evaluate the test's effects from different angles. González-Carbonell et al [20] propose assessing outcomes using a bendingstretching ratio index. Mitsuda et al [21] examine how bending influences spinal flexibility in healthy college students.…”
