“…In recognition of this relationship, the Prudential FITNESSGRAM (6) includes a trunk lift test as a measure of trunk extensor strength and flexibility based on content validity. Recent evidence suggests that the FITNESSGRAM back extension test is reliable but information is lacking on the criterion-related validity with LBP (11).…”

“…7 0 ) and dynamic back extension test (.95CI = .64-.88) were within this range. A high intraclass correlation (R = .96) and confidence interval (.95CI = .94-.99) have been reported for tests of the single-effort back extension test (Jackson, et al, 1996). These values are higher than current CI values of the isometric or dynamic test.…”

“…back hyperextension test as a measure of minimal back extensor strength of children (Meredith & Welk, 1999). While this test has been shown to have sufficient reliability from a norm-referenced and criterion-referenced perspective in an adult sample, it is not a measure of endurance in children (Jackson, Morrow, Jensen, Jones, & Schultes, 1996).…”

Isometric Strength and Dynamic Back Extensor Endurance are Unrelated in Children Ages 6–10 Years: A Pilot Study

et al. 2004

This study assessed the correlation between back extensor isometric force and dynamic endurance in 69 children 6-10 years of age. Subjects were positioned prone with legs and hips supported and restrained on two folded 6-in. mats. 42 subjects (20 girls; 22 boys) performed three 5-sec. isometric back extension efforts against a calibrated dynamometer and peak force values were averaged. An additional 27 subjects (9 girls; 18 boys) also performed a dynamic (0 degrees --> 45 degrees flexion-->0 degrees) back extension test at a frequency of 20 per minute, and the number of repetitions was recorded. Both tests were repeated at a 1-wk. interval. Pearson correlations for the endurance, the isometric force test, and test-retest, and between the functional concentric endurance vs isometric force were .55, .79 (both p<.01), and .03, respectively. These tests have moderate to high reliability but they examine different aspects of back muscle fitness. They should not be used interchangeably to assess back extensor muscle fitness. Further investigation must determine whether different dynamic test frequencies and mat heights yield different results.

“…En el SRT los participantes de este estudio obtuvieron valores normales de flexibilidad (Ferrer, 1998), coincidiendo con otros estudios donde estudiantes universitarios eran evaluados con la misma prueba (Jackson et al, 1996;Chung y Yuen, 1999;Baltaci, Un, Tunay, Besler y Gerceker, 2003;Benavent, Tella, González-Millan y Colado, 2008;Davis, Quinn, Whiteman, Williams y Young, 2008;Bozic et al, 2010). Asimismo, nuestros participantes presentaron valores similares a los del grupo de edad a los que pertenecen para las pruebas TED (Cabedo y Roca, 2008) y CIV (Jürimäe y Volbekiene, 1998).…”

Basados en el campo de energía del cuerpo, los inventores de Power Balance® han creado un holograma que teóricamente funciona a través de frecuencias que se encuentran en nuestro ambiente natural. Sus creadores aseguran que las personas podrían experimentar una mejora del equilibrio, fuerza, flexibilidad, resistencia, concentración, coordinación y tiempo de recuperación, entre otros. El propósito de la presente investigación será evaluar el efecto del holograma Power Balance® sobre el equilibrio, la flexibilidad, la fuerza y la velocidad-coordinación en estudiantes universitarios. Una muestra de 105 jóvenes voluntarios estudiantes universitarios de educación física (edad 20,91±3,36 años; masa 69,69±11,35 kg; talla 171,70±8,07 cm) fue utilizada. Un diseño experimental mixto con grupo control y a doble ciego fue usado para evaluar los posibles efectos del holograma Power Balance® sobre el equilibrio dinámico, la flexibilidad, la fuerza-resistencia abdominal y la velocidad-coordinación medidos con el Test de Equilibrio Dinámico, Sit and Reach, Abdominales en 30 s y Carrera de ida y vuelta 10 x 5 m, respectivamente. Una t de Student para muestras independientes y dependientes fue usada para evaluar los posibles efectos entre-grupo e intra-grupo, respectivamente. El holograma Power Balance® no produce efectos significativos sobre el equilibrio, la flexibilidad, la fuerza y la velocidad-coordinación en estudiantes universitarios. Palabra clave: Power Balance, Equilibrio Dinámico, Flexibilidad, Fuerza Resistencia, Velocidad-coordinación, Jóvenes.Abstract: Based on the body’s energy field, the inventors of Power Balance® have created a hologram that theoretically runs through frequencies that are in our natural environment. Its creators say that people may experience improve balance, strength, flexibility, endurance, concentration, coordination and recovery time, among others. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of Power Balance® hologram on balance, flexibility, strength and speed-coordination in university students. A sample of 105 young volunteers’ physical education students (age 20.91 ± 3.36 years, mass 69.69 ± 11.35 kg, height 171.70 ± 8.07 cm) was used. A between-group experimental design with double-blind control group was used to evaluate the possible effects of the Power Balance ® on the dynamic balance, flexibility, abdominal strength, endurance and speed-coordination measured with the Dynamic Balance Test, Sit and Reach, Sit-ups in 30 seconds and Race 10 x 5 m, respectively. A t of Student for independent and dependent samples was used to assess the potential effects between-group and intra-group, respectively. Power Balance®’s hologram produces no significant effects on the balance, flexibility, strength and speed-coordination among university students.Key words: Power Balance, Dynamic Balance, Flexibility, Endurance Strength, Speed-coordination, Young.
