BACKGROUND Dance performance requires not only lower extremity muscle strength and endurance, but also sufficient core stabilization during dynamic dance movements. While previous studies have identified a link between core muscle performance and lower extremity injury risk, what has not been determined is if an extended core stabilization training program will improve specific measures of danc...

[Purpose] Through core strength training, patients with chronic low back pain can strengthen their deep trunk muscles. However, independent training remains challenging, despite the existence of numerous core strength training strategies. Currently, no standardized system has been established analyzing and comparing the results of core strength training and typical resistance training. Therefor...

introduction: low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complication. although there are many ways to treat low back pain, achieving a concise, simple, and compact method is required in today's industrial societies. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks selected core stabilization exercises on pain and functional disability in patients with nonspecific chronic...

Objective- We assessed the effect of change in core isometric strength and endurance on upper limb isometric strength in female athletes. Methods- In this experimental study, 32 female athletes aged 18-25 years were recruited based on the inclusion criteria. (17 cases in the experimental group and 15 cases in the control group). Before and after the core stabilization knockdown protocol, parti...

CONTEXT Core training specifically for track and field athletes is vague, and it is not clear how it affects dynamic balance and core-endurance measures. OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of a 6-week core-stabilization-training program for high school track and field athletes on dynamic balance and core endurance. DESIGN Test-retest. SETTING High school in north central West Virginia. ...

Background: While core stabilization techniques, abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) have recently been recognized as a powerful technique to mitigate or improve various medical conditions, the issue of whether the cortical or subcortical neural network contributes to dynamic neuromuscular core stabilization (yoga-like DNS breathing vs. ADIM) remai...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on low back pain and abdominal and back muscle endurance in patients with chronic low back pain caused by disc herniation. Methods: For this purpose, 30 male and female patients with chronic low back pain due to disc herniation (age =48.55 ± 3.35) were divided into experimental and control groups (...
