Core training principles

Question 1

Core stability

Answer 1

They ability of an individual to maintain a given position adequately stabilizing the spine while the extremities are moving

Question 2

Core Endurance

Answer 2

The ability to control the motion of the spine over a given longer duration

Question 3

Core Strength

Answer 3

The ability to control the motion of the spine

Question 4

Core

Answer 4

The structure that makes up the lumbo-pelvic- hip complex (LPHC)
Including the lumbar spine, pelvic girdle , abdomen and hip joints

Question 5

Type I (slow twitch) muscle fibers

Answer 5

Muscle fiber that are small in size generate lower amounts of force and are more resistant to fatigue

Question 6

Local Muscles

Answer 6

Generally attached on or near the vertebrae and often have short attachment ranging between one or two vertebral segments/ primary type I fibers

Question 7

ROTATORES - Local Muscle

Answer 7

Stabilize and rotate spinal segments

Question 8

MULTIFIDUS - Local Muscles

Answer 8

Stabilize , extend and rotate spine

Question 9

TRAVERSE ABDOMINIS- Local Muscle

Answer 9

Increase intra- abdominal pressure

Question 10

DIAPHRAGM- Local Muscles

Answer 10

Regulate Inspiration

Question 11

PELVIC FLOOR MUSCULATURE- Local Muscles

Answer 11

Support the contents of the pelvis

Question 12

QUADRATUS LUMBORUM- Local Muscles

Answer 12

Lateral flexion of the spine, elevation of the pelvis

Question 13

RECTUS ABDOMINIS- Global Muscle

Answer 13

Trunk/spine flexion, rotation, and lateral flexion

Question 14

EXTERNAL ABDOMINAL OBLIQUES - Global Muscles

Answer 14

Spinal Flexion, lateral flexion, and contralateral rotation

Question 15

INTERNAL ABDOMINAL OBLIQUES- Global Muscles

Answer 15

Spinal flexion, lateral flexion, and ipsilateral rotation

Question 16

ERECTOR SPINAE - Global Muscles

Answer 16

Trunk/Spine extension. Rotation, and lateral flexion

Question 17

LATISSIMUS DORSI - Global Muscle

Answer 17

Trunk Spine Rotation- ( in addition to shoulder extension, adduction and internal rotation

Question 18

ILIOPSOAS ( iliacus-psoas) Global Muscle

Answer 18

Hip Flexion ( in addition to hip adduction and external rotation)

Question 19

Global Muscles

Answer 19

Global core musculature is positioned more superficial on the trunk when compared to local core muscles
the global muscles of the core act to move the trunk , transfer loads between the upper and lower extremities and provide stability of the spine by stabilizing multiple segment together as functional unit

Are responsible for concentric force , and eccentric deceleration

Question 20

Lordotic Lordosis

Answer 20

The normal curvature of the cervical and lumbar spine regions creating a concave portion of the spinae

Question 21

Kyphotic / Kyphosis

Answer 21

The normal curvature of the thoracic spine region creating a convex portion of the spine

Question 22

Anterior Pelvic Tilt

Answer 22

An excessive forward rotation of the pelvis that results in greater lumbar lordosis

Question 23

Posterior pelvic tilt

Answer 23

And excessive rotation of the pelvis that result in lesser lumbar lordosis
( flattened lumbar curve)

Question 24

Scoliosis

Answer 24

An abnormal curve of the spine from side to side

Question 25

Drawing in Maneuver

Answer 25

A maneuver used to recruit the local core stabilizers by drawing in the navel towards the spine

Question 26

Bracing

Answer 26

Contracting the global abdominal such as the rectus abdominis and obliques at the same time

Question 27

Concentric

Answer 27

Force production

Question 28

Eccentric

Answer 28

Force reduction

Question 29

Isometric

Answer 29

Dynamic stabilization
