The objective of core training To uniformly strengthen the deep and
superficial
muscles that stabilize and move the trunk
of the
body, especially the abdominals and
muscles of
the back.
A properly designed core training It helps an individual gain neuromuscular
program control,
stability, muscular endurance, strength,
and power
of the core.
Core The structures that make up the
lumbo-pelvic-hip
complex (LPHC) including the lumbar
spine, the
pelvic girdle, abdomen, and the hip joint.
Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex LPHC
Center of Gravity COG
, Human movement system Kinetic chain
the core musculature Local stabilization system, global
stabilization
system, and the movement system.
Local core stabilizers Muscles that attach directly to the vertibrae
Type 1 Slow twitch
Core stabilizing muscles Primarily responsible for intervertebral and
intersegmental stability and work to limit
excessive
compressive, shear, and rotational forces
between
spinal segments.
The primary muscles of the local The transverse abdominis, internal
stabilization system obliques,
multifidus, pelvic floor musculature, and
diaphragm
Global Stabilization System These muscles act to transfer loads
between the
upper extremity and lower extremity,
provide
stability between the pelvis and spine, and
provide
stabilization and eccentric control of the
core
during functional movements.
