Abdominal anatomy is complicated enough as it is, but it gets trickier when we try to define “The Core”. Everyone wants to strengthen their core - it’s a go to for physical therapists and strength and conditioning experts, but there is some controversy about what muscles count as core muscles and why.

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in the clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just pre-med students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.

Awesome video Pat. I give my structural kinesiology students an assignment where they design a core training program that incorporates both movement and anti-movement (aka isometric stability) exercises, and then ask them to explain which muscles these target and why we need both for healthy function and performance. Your video explains this so succinctly while addressing the nuances they need to be aware of as future practitioners.

@ratchanokthamdee1577 Год назад

Thank you for the video! For me personally, I kinda think that the core muscles have 2 important jobs. 1. Postural control (like you said stabilize the spine&support limb movement) 2.help with the breathing. When the core muscles work more as a stabilizer(for example during upright position against the gravity with the gross movement) then they will help less in breathing and vice versa. And like you said there are global and local muscles which global muscles help with the gross movement but local muscles help to stabilize the spine, control the posture and help the global muscles work effectively. That's why when you want to strengthen the local core stabilizer you should do it more in a static+endurance training way otherwise the global muscles will take advantage of that training. Plus it will give you even better effect if you also apply breathing exercise when you do core muscles strengthening exercises.

So If I define core strength as an athletic ability to twist in the air with stability good ROM no pain strength and speed then what should I workout? I feel like twisting motions would be good High endurance (low weight) and low endurance (High weight) Would be good also Quick concentric Movements would be good as well as slow ones and stability planks and side planks would be. For back I feel as if back hyper extension workouts would be good along with a twisting motion. It's hard as an athlete to find good core workouts to do because as he said in the video it's hard to know what your working and how to judge if it's working.

Rectus abdominis, external and internal oblique eccentrically decelerates spinal extension, rotation and lateral flexion as an integrated function. However, Their isolated function is different from one and another abs roll out, side plank, hanging leg raises, abs machine contralateral, ipsilateral, and rotation exercise is how we build their integrated and isolated function (strength) 🧐

Hello, it seems to me that the video focuses on the lower back: all the muscles seem shown in the animations don't go all the way up the spine. Is there a reason for this?

@TazTheGiant 2 года назад

So what exercise should we do yo "improve" our core and protecting the spine

@sidrens5292 2 года назад

On my degree we learned three groups - local stabilisers (TVA, Multifidis, diaphragm and pelvic floor); global stabilisers (rotator cuff, internal obliques, QL etc…); global mobilisers (Rectus abs, quadriceps, pectorals etc..) easy!

@jonathanlochridge9462 6 месяцев назад

So do stuff like planks actually strengthen the core? It seems like what you said that it might effect the movement muscles in an isometric range. I know the quads also are engaded as parts of planks as a rule. Although, maybe they actively strengthen or at least improve the endurance of the stabilizing non-movement muscles as well? Although, perhaps the not-moving resistance inherently utilizes the stability muscles more. I guess general core isometrics are still generally effective. But that having the surfaces be unstable has extension but not flexion benefits? That makes me wonder if slowly adding weights to isometric core exercises would be an effective way to increase core strength?

@ethankrueger8744 Год назад

I HAVE A GOOD QUESTION. Ima dummy but Is ur safe to assume your primary core flexes when you throw up or regurgitate??

@dreamchef_13 11 месяцев назад

@monnoo8221 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the good explanation of the puzzle. From the mixed perspective of a data scientist and flexibility trainer I always find those studies kind of dumb. There obviously is the miracle of our body, with its complexity, meaning multi-faceted, highly versatile, moving thing, across several levels of integration, all intricately linked and woven together... and then some reductionist positivist coming along trying to reflect that in a single number measured in a single capacity. This being said, I know that it would be possible to do otherwise, because there are enough empirical concepts laying around for decades, that would allow to integrate those many dimensions.

@RBmusic2000 2 года назад

my belief in what a core muscle is would be defined by a muscle that we cant contract easily in isolation, but is yet one of the most supportive & most important muscle of the spine. If we can single out a muscle for isolated movement then i wouldn't think this is key to the core. All muscles would be classified as the core otherwise. Im no pro though, so what do i know. Just my view.

@SteveWKk 3 года назад

Great video Patrick :) Love learning about the body..... Question for you.......In the Military I was in a vehicle collision 10 years ago and fractured my L1 vertebrae.( burst fracture) It healed normally, but ever since I've suffered bad low back pain.......the muscles surrounding the injury are chronically Weak. I'm healthy....lean......but I cannot get past the weak low back no matter how much I exercise ;/ Is this just to be expected? Any thoughts? I can't sit for too long......can't stand too long before it gets bad. Lost my career over it. Side note and request...? I also have chronic Ischial Tuberosity Bursitis and for 10 years it has never gone away. I injections to help but theres no surgery or anything to help. It was misdiagnosed as sciatica for years. I'd love a video about it! Cheers dude

Damn man, I'm so sorry to hear about this, but really glad to hear it healed ok. Hopefully the VA can still help with PT and/or other treatments. I know it varies from one VA to another, but I hope it gets taken care of either way. I'm just a Corpsman in PTA school, but I know burst fractures can be brutal. Take care of yourself Steve - wish you the best.

1:54 Since there are core muscles stabilizing the spine, hip, and pelvis are there ways to train them for athleticism, fitness, health improvements, functional stuff, and other specific goals just like how people train the more known core muscles (the TA, rectus abdominus, both kinds of obliques, serratus anterior, multifidus, and the ligaments and tissues connected to those muscles that make that well known V-line cut you see at the bottom of one's torso)? If there are ways to train the core muscles dealing with the spine, hip, and pelvis, how with vs without any equipment? And since those muscles move and/or stabilize the spine, how do you increase stamina AND endurance (I know they're both two different things and that there are more than one for each so as one of my goals, I want ALL KINDS of stamina AND endurance that I can get! I want endless energy and I want my limits to be non-existent or if I can't have that, then at least have my limits be farther to reach than all the planets out there in space. I wanna go apeshit and aggressive for an eternity before even needing a break let alone being tired enough to end it) for all core muscles, especially the ones I was asking about for spine, hip, and pelvis AND the more known ones I was talking about that were listed in the parenthesis?

I was just trying to figure out wich muscles constitute 'the core'... and clicked on this thinking it's not gonna give me any more of a clear list of muscles than any of the other videos oh, man am I glad I clicked... mistry solved... at least now I know why I can't get a clear answer, because even the experts can't agree on the list. I can live with that... now I need to figure out why I want to know about the core... 3 reasons I guess... maybe I'll need 3 slightly definitions... back pain prevention, so one definition is the most important muscles for staying erect for 14 to 18 hours without wearing out the lower back, and 2 is making exercising everything else easier, and 3 is increasing athletic ability... so the muscles involved in those respectively... so maybe in order to differentiate between them I could call the three; stability core strength, ability core strength, and athletic core strength, or something to that effect.. perhaps I'll have a better idea after more research.

what is the paradox?

@Corporis 2 года назад

It is impossible to directly measure the strength of muscles that are universally recognized as The Core (like the TA or multifidus). The other muscles that lend themselves to easy strength evaluation (rectus abd., erector spinae group) measure movement of the spine, and can't evaluate muscles whose functions include stabilization

@@Corporis i hope the comment didn't come off as dismissive. this is a very beautifully made video. on the topic, for practical purposes we seem to have very functional understanding - at least effective - as to how to strengthen the core. so, I gues, academically there are gray areas certainly, but for fitness purposes the current best practices are very effective.

Which powerlifter have you seen that doing a split jerk? Weightlifters do split jerks. Powerlifters squat, deadlift and bench press. And neither of these two strength and power sporting athletes will EVER do any of their lifts on a balance trainer. EVER. It's nice to see you try to bridge the gap between regular people and athletes. But PT's don't have a slightest clue as to what these strength and power athletes actually do and how they train.

@Corporis 3 года назад

Admittedly I don't know that sport well. I hope it doesn't seem like I'm talking smack on powerlifters!

Suhail Agha -I’m sorry but I can’t disagree with you more. Sure; there are PTs who are clueless about Powerlifters and weightlifters, because they don’t specialize in those fields, but people like Kelly Staret would disagree with you. There are plenty of PTs with various strength and conditioning certifications who are more than qualified to rehab and train strength and power athletes

@suhailagha8270 3 года назад

@@Phreemunny We'll have to agree to disagree then, as unfortunately that is not the norm. The example provided in the video was that of a weightlifting exercise done on a balance trainer. The powerlifts are different from the ones done in weightlifting. Powerlifting is a common misnomer, as powerlifters aim to display strength, while the weightlifters aim to display power. They have to in order for their lifts to move the way they do. It's things like this that show the great divide between physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches. A strength and conditioning intern would know the difference between these two disciplines. That is why it is important for physiotherapists to earn strength training certifications (and actually be able to display that strength, as strength is a trainable skill) and it is equally important for strength and conditioning coaches to learn basic anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. But the world is not ideal. And there will always be a great divide, except for a few key individuals.

Suhail Agha -LoL! You make it sound like there are just a few PTs out there with CSCS (or similar) certifications, or that no PTs workout/participate in power or weight lifting. There are a good number of PTs here in the US who have these certifications, and most PTs I know are athletic. I’m not even a PT (I am an OT who works with PTs) and I know the difference between power lifters and weight lifters. And any PT with an ounce of sense is going to ask an athlete what lifts they are concerned about performing. While I would agree that most PTs coming straight out of school are not well equipped for these populations, a therapist with one of the better strength and conditioning certifications is going to be superior to a strength and conditioning coach.
