Is the recommendation from the YTT teaching core anatomy online as a YT video
What does the core do?
CORE - Stabilises Us.
- Pilates
- Physiotherapy
- Yoga teachers
All look at core differently. Different muscle groups that are involved in stability and core.
Recite the (SOUP CAN) muscles of the core as per the SM TY Core Video:
Include front, sides, back, bottom and top of our ‘soup can’, our core.
(SOUP CAN) of the front, sides, back, bottom, and top of our ‘soup can’, our core.
- Abdominals
- Psoas
- Quadratus Lumborum
- Multifidi
- Diaphragm
- Pelvic Floor
There are other muscles involved in the core.
These are the ones we looked at with SM YTT200HRS.
How many layers of muscles do the abdominals have?
4
The abdominals are made up of four layers of different muscles
Recite the 4 layers of abdominals - starting with the deepest abdominal muscle layer and ending with the most superficial muscle layer?
- Transverse Abdominus (TA)
- Internal Obliques (INT OBL)
- External Obliques (EXT OBL)
- Rectus Abdominus (RA)
T.I.E.R
The 4 layers of the abdominals are from deepest to most superficial. Well done!
READ CARD
- Transverse Abdominis – DEEPEST – comes first.
- Internal Oblique – INTERNAL obviously comes first in obliques.
- External Oblique – EXTERNAL obviously comes next.
- Rectus Abdominis – MOST SUPERFICIAL comes last.
TIRE
Recite the direction the 4 Abdominals Muscles run in?
- Transverse Abdominis - transverse means across/horizontal.
- Internal Oblique’s - oblique means diagonal.
- External Oblique’s - oblique means diagonal.
- Rectus Abdominis - rectus meaning straight.
What is the:
LINEA ALBA? (White Line)
A line of connective tissue where all of the abdominal muscles insert into the front of the body.
MEDIAL/MID-LINE in torso
How do connective tissue and muscle tissue interact?
- Connective tissue and muscle tissue go together.
- They interlock like our fingers do when we clasp our hands.
- Connective tissue and muscle tissue interconnect into layers of abdominals and insert into each other.
APONEUROSIS
APONEUROSIS
What is DIASTASIS RETI ?
DIASTASIS RETI - is when connective tissue splits apart from a heavy pregnancy.
Are our Layers of Abdominal muscles thick?
No.
Our layers of abdominal muscles are thin like prosciutto ham.
Do our abdominals provide a good amount of protection for our organs?
Abdominals don’t provide very much protection for organs.
How do Abdominal muscles interact with the internal organs?
Abdominals wrap around our internal organs.
Are the back muscles thin like prosciutto?
NO. Back muscles a big, thick, chunky muscles.
What are a few more names for the TA?
- Transverse Abdominus
- Corset Muscle
- ‘Ryan Reynolds’ Six Pack
Which direction do the TA/Transverse Abdominals run in?
- Across/horizontal
- They wrap around the trunk.
- From back to front and sides of a soup can.
