Impact of Sedentary Lifestyle on Core Muscles in Young Adults
Abstract: Sustained sitting and lack of physical activity led to a sedentary lifestyle that all young adults are going through. The pattern of a sedentary lifestyle hurts the musculoskeletal health, especially the core muscles, which play a vital role in posture, balance, and functional activities. The relationship between core muscle strength and sedentary behaviour is directly shown by this research. This study aims to develop and validate questionnaire and evaluate the relationship between sedentary behaviours and reduced core muscle strength by measuring physical activity levels and trunk muscle endurance through questionnaire. To avoid the chronic functional impairments in the particular age group, the findings may help in increasing awareness and encouraging early physiotherapy support.
