Core Stability

Core Stability

The Core Stability class is designed and structured to strengthen all those muscles that structure up our "core". By core we mean the "core of the body", that is an area between the lower portion of the torso and the lower edge of the pelvis.

The core is given considerable importance in the functional expression of movements, as it could be defined as the first ring of any kinetic chain. For this reason, a possible lack of its muscular trophism, in addition to being responsible for a lower athletic performance, can imply various muscle-joint imbalances and predispose the onset of pain and/or injuries.

The main core muscles are localized in the abdomen, waist, middle and lower back, and hips and are: all those of the pelvic floor, transverse abdomen, multifidus, internal and external obliques, rectus abdominis, spinal erectors, longissimus and diaphragm.

The core is mainly responsible for stabilizing the chest and pelvis in movement, and also favors the expulsion of various substances considered waste or waste, through the increase of internal pressure.

It has a huge influence on posture; moreover, it is assumed that most of the functional movements of the whole body, including athletic and sporting gestures, originate from it.

The rationale for the human musculoskeletal system is to convey the force from the bone segments, through various joints, in a specific direction. The core muscles align the spine, ribs and pelvis with the aim of resisting the expression of specific force, both static and dynamic.

The static function of the core is the ability of its core to align and stabilize the skeleton to withstand a specific force.

The nature of the dynamism takes into account both the skeletal structure and the external resistance, consequently it affects both the muscles and the joints differently than the static position.

A trained and powerful core favors any daily activity, from simple sitting at a desk, to standing, to lifting heavy loads. Core strength also supports athletes in all movements and is a fundamental foundation for performing each exercise.

For those with back pain or for people suffering from scoliosis, training the Core Stability has also been showed in different studies to deliver remarkable improvements.
