Brief Summary

Stabilization exercises help increase strength, stability, balance, gait, and endurance through effective abdominal training. Bridge exercise, which is one of the closed kinetic exercises, is one of the most used spinal stabilization exercises. Although that exercise affects on the trunk muscles, it has been stated that it is related to all muscles of the lower extremity.There are some studies, which are examining the activation of the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, rectus abdominus, iliocostalis lumborum, iliocostalis thoracis, and gastrocnemius muscles while exercising the bridge. Although there are some studies investigating the activation of muscles at different knee angles, there is no study in the literature examining the effect of bridge exercise performed at different knee angles on the strength and endurance of lower extremity and trunk muscles. For these reasons, this study aimed to examine the effect of bridging exercises performed at different knee angles on muscle strength and endurance in healthy subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

• Muscle Strength Assessment-Baseline

  PowerTrack II Command will be used. The back extensor muscle group and M. Gluteus Maximus, M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gastrocinemius muscles of the participants will be evaluated.

  Assessment will be conducted before intervention.

• Muscle Strength Assessment-Post intervention

  PowerTrack II Command will be used. The back extensor muscle group and M. Gluteus Maximus, M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gastrocinemius muscles of the participants will be evaluated.

  Assessment will be conducted immediately after the intervention.

• Abdominal Muscle Strength Assessment-Baseline

  Manual Muscle Test will be used.

  Assessment will be conducted before intervention.

• Abdominal Muscle Strength Assessment-Post intervention

  Manual Muscle Test will be used.

  Assessment will be conducted immediately after the intervention.

• Core Endurance Assessment-1-Baseline

  Prone Plank Endurance Test

  Assessment will be conducted before intervention.

• Core Endurance Assessment-1-Post intervention

  Prone Plank Endurance Test

  Assessment will be conducted immediately after the intervention.

• Core Endurance Assessment-2-Baseline
