After warming-up exercise for 20 minutes, Isokinetic measurement of trunk strength for flexor and extensor was done by using Cybex 6000 TEF Unit on 91 healthy male white workers from 22years old to 49 years old, and compared each other. 20 repetitions of trunk extension-flexion were done at 120˚/sec angular velocity. After resting for 1 minutes, Four repetitions at two different angular velocities(60˚/sec, 120˚/sec) were done with 30 seconds of resting interval between each angular velocity. The purpose of this study is to obtain the isokinetic normative strength values for trunk extensors and flexors, and is to know the correlation between age, height, weight of subjects and data from isokinetic trunk strength measurement, and is to provide a guideline for exercise program of male white collar workers The collected data were analyzed by ANOVA, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test, and Pearson correlation coefficiency in PC-SAS program. The results obtained were as follow; 1. There is significant positive-correlation with the statistic value between weight and peak torque of trunk muscles at two different angular velocities(60˚/sec, 120˚/sec)(p<01), between height and peak torque of trunk muscles at two different angular velocities(60˚/sec, 120˚/sec) except peak torque of trunk flexor at /sec(p<01). 2. There is nagitive-correlation between age and peak torque of trunk muscles at two different angular velocities(60˚/sec,120˚ /sec), there is significant differences with statistic value between age and peak torque of trunk extensor at 60˚/sec(p<.01). 3. Mean peak torque and mean peak torque % by body weight of trunk extensor is 1.1 times higher values than trunk flexor at 60˚/sec. 4. There is the increase in peak torque angle of trunk flexor with increasing of age, and the decrease in peak torque angle of trunk flexor with increasing of age at two different angular velocities(60˚/sec, 120˚/sec). there is significant differences with statistic value in peak torque angle of trunk flexor at 120˚/sec(p<.01). 5. There is significant decrease in endurance ratio of trunk extensor with increasing of age at 120˚/sec(p<.01). In conclusion, peak torque of trunk extensor is 1.1 times higher values than trunk flexor in healthy male white collar workers.
