Chapter 9: Core Training Concepts || with A+ Guaranteed Solutions.

Objectives of Core Training correct answers Uniformly strengthen the deep and superficial muscles that stabilize, align, and move the trunk of the body, especially the abdominals and muscles of the back What can core training help with? correct answers Core training can help gain neuromuscular control, stability, muscular endurance, strength, and power of core EXTRA INFO TO REMEMBER correct answers Optimal lengths (or length- tension relationships) recruitment patterns (force coupling relationships), and joint motions (arthrokinematics), in the muscles of the LPHC establish neuromuscular efficiency throughout the entire human movement system Core correct answers Structures that make up the LPHC including the lumbar spine, pelvic girdle, abdomen, and hip joint What is located in the core? correct answers The body's center of gravity (COG) - where all movement originates Core Musculature breakdown correct answers Local stabilization system , global stabilization system, movement system Local Stabilization System correct answers Muscles that attach directly to the vertebrae- primarily type 1 (slow twitch) and high density of muscle fibers Local Core Stabilizing Muscles correct answers Transverse Abdominus, internal obliques, lumbar multifidus, pelvic floor musculature, diaphragm What are the local core stabilization muscles responsible for? correct answers Responsible for intervertebral and intersegmental stability and work to limit excessive compressive, shear, rotational forces between spinal segments OR they provide support from vertebra to vertebra Aid in proprioception and postural control because of high density of muscle spindles Segmental Spinal Ability Global Stabilization System correct answers Attach from the pelvis to the spine What is the global stabilization system responsible for? correct answers Responsible for transferring loads between upper and lower extremities, provide stability between the pelvis and the spine, provide stabilization and eccentric control of the core during functional movement
