Objective: To determine the effectiveness of treadmill jogging on core endurance among sedentary individuals. Background: With rapid industrialization and urbanization in the developing world, the lifestyle of the people has undergone marked changes leading to a sedentary lifestyle. People work in monotonous and constrained postures for long working hours. There is shrinking of space at home, offices and around the community contributing to further immobility. Treadmill jogging is an exercise which may increase the core endurance among sedentary individuals. Methods: A total of 24 sedentary subjects, both males & females, aged between 21-35 years were included in the study. All subjects were initially screened through musculoskeletal assessment to rule out inclusion and exclusion criteria. Treadmill jogging protocol was followed for 4 weeks, three times in a week. Prior to the treadmill jogging, a measurement of core endurance (trunk flexion, trunk extension, right side bridge, left side bridge) was done along with the measurement of the resting heart rate. Results: The present study resulted a significant change (p<0.01) in the core endurance(trunk flexion, trunk extension, right side bridge, left side bridge)and also in the resting heart rate after 4 weeks of treadmill training. Conclusion: The present study concluded a significant improvement in core endurance levels of trunk flexion, extension, right side & left side bridge on treadmill jogging for 4 weeks. It also signifies a decrease in resting heart rate after 4 weeks of treadmill training. The present training protocol can be further prescribed to patients with weak muscle endurance.
