The average time a girl can hold a plank is approximately 106 seconds (around 1 minute and 46 seconds), but this varies significantly based on fitness level.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Average: A study indicated a mean plank hold time of 106.15 seconds for females.
- Quartiles:
- 25th percentile: 73.5 seconds
- 50th percentile (median): 95 seconds
- 75th percentile: 122.5 seconds
This means that:
- 25% of females held a plank for approximately 73.5 seconds or less.
- 50% of females held a plank for approximately 95 seconds or less.
- 75% of females held a plank for approximately 122.5 seconds or less.
Therefore, a girl's plank hold time can range from under a minute to over two minutes, depending on factors like core strength, overall fitness, and training. It is also important to note that these times represent one particular study.
