From stabilization exercise to core training, the literature is loaded with buzz words and catch phrases. The body doesn't know, or care, about these descriptive titles. A thorough understanding of spinal mechanics and resistance forces is necessary for good exercise design. Gain an understanding of the rules of the body by exploring the intricate world of joints, forces and muscles. Learn to examine the specific functions of individual muscles and their relationship to spinal mobility, and explore the truth about various forms of passive stretching.
391: Understanding the Research: The Core (L/D / Exercise Science)
Presented By Annette Lang, MS

Core training protocols have been under considerable scrutiny and there are many questions that need to be answered, like, "Is the core wired to fire automatically?" Perhaps the most important question is, "What exactly does the research say and how do we use this information to help our clients to progress safely and effectively?" This session will review the most current information available on core training. In addition, we will discuss the necessity of cuing and how it is used with our personal training clients and class participants.
