Summary

Background/Objectives: Core muscular endurance is believed to support both postural control and proprioceptive accuracy. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between core endurance, dynamic balance, and proprioceptive function of the hip and shoulder joints in healthy young adults. Methods: Sixty healthy young adults (mean age: 20.9 ± 2.4 years) participated. Core endurance was evaluated using McGill tests: Trunk Anterior Flexor Test (TAFT), Trunk Posterior Extensor Test (TPET), Right and Left Lateral Plank Tests (RLPT, LLPT). Dynamic balance was assessed with the Pedalo® platform, while shoulder and hip proprioception (flexion and abduction) was measured using the Biodex System 3 Pro. Results: Significant positive correlations were observed among all McGill tests, especially between RLPT and LLPT (r = 0.803, p \< 0.05). TPET showed significant negative correlations with shoulder proprioception (flexion and abduction, p \< 0.05), indicating that higher core endurance may enhance proprioceptive acuity. TAFT and TPET were also positively associated with dynamic balance. Conclusions: These findings indicate that trunk flexor and extensor endurance contribute to dynamic balance, and TPET may also reflect proprioceptive capacity in the shoulder. Core endurance training may thus have value in both balance and sensorimotor rehabilitation.
