Isometric endurance assessment of core, as a part of this analysis is often done with techniques that are valid. Objective: To develop normative percentile separated by genderof hold time of prone plank in Indian college aged individuals, investigate effect of habitual physical activity along with reason for test termination and effect of BMI with hold time of testing. Material And Methods:206 individuals meeting the inclusion criteria performed the prone plank test as long as they can and time was noted. Result:Males produced significantly longer test duration than females and BMI is inversely proportional to hold time. Conclusion:These normative percentiles for abdominal endurance suggest that the abdominal plank test can now be used as an alternative to other abdominal assessments in Indian college students.
