Q

Bracing

A

Contracting the GLOBAL abdominals such as the rectus abdominis & obliques simultaneously. A CO-CONTRACTION.

Q

3 functional outcomes of a core stability training program

A
  1. Intervertebral Stability
    (stabilization of individual spinal segments)
  2. Lumbopelvic Stability
    (stabilization of LPHC )

3.) Movement Efficiency
(improved movement quality & force output)

Q

Core training progression

A
  1. Stabilization of spine w/o large trunk movements. Target LOCAL core muscles.

Ex. Bridge & plank

2.) Use full ROM of the spine through flexion/extension/& rotation of the trunk.

Ex. Crunch & cable rot.

3.) Use speed to improve FORCE PRODUCTION & MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY.

Ex. Med ball throws/slams
