Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between hip adductor muscle strength and endurance, core stabilization, and lower extremity performance.
Methodsː One hundred thirty-three healthy individuals were included in the study. Bilateral hip adductor muscle strength was evaluated with a compression test by using a sphygmomanometer, and endurance was evaluated by the number of hip adduction repetitions for each extremity performed in the side-lying position in one minute. Core stabilization was evaluated by the endurance of the trunk muscles (the time of maintaining the flexion of the trunk 60 degrees, the lateral bridge position, and the trunk extension against gravity). Lower extremity dynamic balance (Y balance test) and performance (single-leg and triple-crossover hop test) were also evaluated.
Resultsː A positive and moderate correlation was found between hip adductor muscle strength and endurance of nondominant (r=0.529, p
