Abstract

The current study was undertaken to verify appropriateness of muscle endurance test at three different angles ($30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$) of isometric contraction position, and to sought valid and reliable testing method that provide an alternative to sit-ups. Total 92 young and healthy subjects (68 males and 24 females) were recruited, and the following results were obtained. 1. A low correlations in males, but a high correlations in females was found when the comparisons were made between aerobic and muscle endurance capability. 2. Measuring tolerance time, by using isometric contraction was showed a significant correlation with the repetition numbers of sit-ups. 3. The highest correlation was found at 40 inclined degrees of plane, and the lowest correlation was drawn from 50 inclined degrees of plane. Based on these results, it was concluded that measuring tolerance time during maintaining an isometric contraction at 40 inclined degrees of plane is a valid and effective tool for measuring abdominal muscle endurance, and it can be used as an alternative way of sit-up, which potentially risky for inducing many back-associated injuries. Further studies need to be undertaken to determine for optimal angles, that can safely be applied for people of various age groups and physical conditions.

본 연구는 복근의 정적 지구력 평가 도구로서의 등척성 버티기 방법의 타당성을 검증하고 최적의 적용 각도를 결정해내기 위해 수행되었다. 92명(남 68명, 여 24명)의 피험자가 자발적으로 실험에 참여하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 유산소 역량과 근지구력 역량 사이의 상관성은 남성에서보다 여성에게서 더 높게 나타났으며 등척성 버티기의 수행 시간과 윗몸일으키기의 반복 횟수 사이에 정적인 상관관계를 나타냈다. 또한 40도의 경사도를 적용 시 30도 및 50도와 비교해 근지구력과의 가장 높은 상관성을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 복근지구력의 평가 도구로서의 등척성 버티기 방법이 요부의 잠재적 상해 위험을 지닌 것으로 보고되고 있는 윗몸일으키기 방법을 대체할 수 있는 대안으로 사용될 수 있으며 적용 시 40도의 각도를 적용하는 것이 적절하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. 서로 다른 연령 및 체력 상태에 따른 최적의 적용 각도에 대해서는 후속 연구를 통해 밝혀져야 할 것이다.
