The aim of this paper was the experiment, which compared two tests. These tests characterize condition muscles in low back part during statically and dynamical load. There was chosen test lying position - setting position repeated from testing battery UNIFITTEST 6-60 and test stock-taking muscles of deep stabilizing spine system (DSSS). Individual tests were measured with muscle dynamometer MD01. Because muscles of DSSS form one functional unit and dysfunction only one muscle makes dysfunction whole system. We suppose that the proportion of engagement of musculus rectus abdominis and musculus transversus abdominis will be constant. 45 healthy women took part in the research. Their average age was 21,6 years. The results of measurement were statistically processed by Statistica 6 programme. The hypotheses were confirmed in part. Test lying position - setting position repeated falzificates information about muscular dysbalances of DSSS.
