Question 1

What muscles can be considered core muslces?

Answer 1

1. Transverse Abdominus
2. Internal OBL
3. External OBL
4. Rectus Abdominus
5. Diaphragm
6. Pelvic Floor
7. Multifidi (spinal)
8. QL - Quadratus Lumborum (not really core but in there thing it is)

Question 2

What are the abdominal muscles from the deepest to the most superficial?

Answer 2

T.I.E.R

1. Transverse Abdominus
2. Internal Oblique (OBL)
3. External Oblique (OBL)
4. Rectus Abdominus

TIER

T.I.E.R

I remember this because while R comes before T in the alphabet in the abdominals listing the T is deepest and comes first so it’s backward.

Question 3

The TRANSVERSE ABDOMINUS wrap around the torso from the lumbar spine to the front of the body. T/F?

Answer 3

TRUE
TRANSVERSE ABDOMINUS DO wrap around the torso from the lumbar spine to the front of the body.

Question 4

TRANSVERSE

Answer 4

TA

Question 5

The internal obliques assist in rotation. T/F?

Answer 5

TRUE

EXT & INT OBL work together in twists to turn you they turn the torso they feed into each other there is a diagonal wrapping action

IN OBL AND EXT OBL - contract together inside bends stabilise us in plank and side plank

Question 6

The Quadratus Lumborum runs from?

Answer 6

RIBS TO PELVIS

Quadratus Lumborum runs from ribs to pelvis

The quadratus lumborum (QL) is the deepest abdominal muscle. It’s located in your lower back on either side of the lumbar spine. It starts at your lowest rib and ends at the top of your pelvis. It’s common to have pain here because you use this muscle to sit, stand, and walk.

Question 7

The DIAPHRAGM connects to the PSOAS. True/False?

Answer 7

TRUE

The DIAPHRAGM does connect to the PSOAS. Well done!

The medial ligaments of the diaphragm cross over the psoas.

The crura (“legs”) of the diaphragm attach to the bodies and disks of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lumbar vertebrae on the right and the 1st and 2nd on the left. The medial ligaments of the diaphragm cross over the psoas, a muscle which has a hip flexor function.4 Apr 2018

A tight psoas muscle can create a thrusting forward of the ribcage. This causes shallow, chest breathing, which limits the amount of oxygen taken in and encourages over usage of your neck muscles.
