abdominals, thighs, hips, and back
2. Core muscles are commonly referred to as
the power zone or power house
3. Core refers to the central region of the
body or torso
4. Core strengthening is vital for optimizing
the abdominals, glutei muscles, and the erector spina during
both dynamic and non-dynamic movements
5. The development of the core muscles are
vital for the following purposes:
- Stability during movement
- Maintaining balance
- Improving coordination
6. During the execution of dynamic movements
(running, jumping, lifting or and pulling) core strengthening
benefits and stabilizes the spine
7. Core muscles play an integral role during
movement because they support posture as well as the coordination
of muscle action
8. Strong core muscles are essential for exerting
force and absorbing shock
9. Functional training improves the core strength
needed for complete muscle development
10. When core muscles are weakened there is
a higher tendency of:
- Lower back pain
- Insufficient posture alignment
- Abdominal strains
- Joint breakdown
- Feeble muscle strength
- The inability to balance and withstand external forces
11. The exercises of core strength training
are verisimilar to the exercises of Pilate programs
12. An efficacious and safe core training program
entails a progressive process of four to five basic movements
that challenge stability and muscle
13. Improving core strength has been found
to significantly decrease or prevent the injuries associated
with chronic back pain, physical inflexibility as well as instability
14. The progression of a core strength regimen
generally transpires between three to six weeks of the programfs
starting point
15. As with any exercise fitness regimen, individuals
should seek the advice of a physician before starting the program.
