Pectoralis minor (PM) are muscle groups that play a role in stabilizing the scapula. The aim of this study evaluate the effects of PM muscle length on scapular and core muscle endurance in the dominant and non-dominant limb. Af93total women were included in the study. Demographic data were recorded. PM length was measured with a caliper. Scapular muscleendurance was evaluated using the scapular isometric compression test and core endurance using McGill's torso-muscular endurancetery.test bat Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that dominant pectoralis minor length and pectoralis minor index and non-dominantpectoralis minor length and pectoralis minor index can affect trunk flexion and trunk extension. The longest muscle endurance timendwasinfouthe scapular test (46.32), followed by the core tests performed in extension (30.37 s), flexion (26.17 s), dominant side bridgetionpos (10.06 s), non-dominant side bridge position (9.36 s). PM length had no effect on scapular and core muscle endurance measured inthebridgeside position. In the trunk flexion and extension positions was directly related to the dominant and non-dominant PM muscle length.
