2. Methods Subjects Core Stability Test (Nesser 2008, Nesser 2011)
50 healthy students (30 ♂ 20 ♀; age: 20.6 ± 1.4 years)
Core Stability Test (Nesser 2008, Nesser 2011)
- McGill Test
Performance’s Test
- Standing Long Jump
- Star Excursion balance Test
- Medicine Ball Throw

3. Results Statistical analyses
Statistical software: SPSS 16.0; Chicago, ILL. Statistical significance: p≤0.05.
- Intra Class Coefficient (Cronbach α) used to test measurements reliability;
- Pearson correlation coefficient used with multiple bivariate correlations.

4. Conclusions High reliability in each test;
Core Stability correlated with strenght-power tests (Scibek 2001, Nesser 2008, Nesser 2011, Sharrock 2011);
No correlation McGill test - Star Test (Sato 2009 VS Myer 2005)
