The core training, according to the American College of Sports Medicine, 2010, is indicated to improve stability, prevent injuries and maintain joint mobility of the trunk. To this end, various types of training programs such as Crossfit and Weight Training were created aiming a greater activation of these muscles as well as tests that assess their effectiveness. Among these tests, the so-called side bridge test, which is performed bilaterally, provides an indicator of the muscle strength of the muscles involved in core. Knowing that the practice of various physical activities may change symmetry and muscle strength, the aim of this study is to compare the effect of different physical activities on the ratio values of the side bridge test times between sides No Dominant / Dominant (ND / D) obtained in this test. Samples were collected in 45 participants aged between 18 and 30 years, 15 practitioners of Crossfit, 15 practitioners of Body Weight Training and 15 sedentary. Participants performed the side bridge test in both sides. After verification of normality and homogeneity of data was selected the appropriate statistical analysis for comparison and correlation of variables, adopting significance level of α<0.05. The results of this study showed a significant difference only in the side bridge test contraction time, the Crossfit group obtained significantly longer times in the dominant side, as the non-dominant side, the contraction time of the side bridge test on both sides (D and ND) of the other two groups, Weight Training group and Sedentary group. Thus, we can conclude that the side bridge test is a simple test to perform and that in this study the Crossfit group showed better results in the contraction time on the side bridge test, possibly preventing the occurrence of low back pain in this group
