What is the role of core strength training?

The core in core strength refers to the middle link of the human body, which is mainly composed of the lumbar spine, pelvis and hip joints. Core strength training is very necessary in the exercise of athletes, and can improve the athletes' athletic ability to a certain extent. I believe that many people still cannot understand what core strength training is and its role. Now let’s follow the editor to learn more about core strength.

Core strength is a kind of ability, which is the force generated by the muscles and ligaments attached to the lumbar spine, hip and pelvic joint. It plays an important role in most competitive sports. It not only maintains body balance and ensures the stable performance of special technical movements, but also is the main link for athletes to exert force. It is the hub for the coordinated use of force between the upper and lower limbs, and plays a connecting role in the process of force transmission. Good core strength can prevent low back pain. Studies have found that patients with chronic low back pain generally have decreased core stabilizing muscle activity;

Good core stability improves movement efficiency. Any movement of the human body is inseparable from the stability of the core. This can be proved by the process of babies learning movements. From the initial turning over to sitting, standing and walking, it is the process of gradual formation of core strength.

At the same time, the power transmission from top to bottom and from bottom to top of the human body is inseparable from the core part, and the quality of the core strength directly determines the power transmission effect. Good core strength can prevent injuries in daily life and sports. Bad living habits and wrong training concepts lead to a decrease in the body's core strength. Weak core strength leads to excessive compensation and muscle imbalance. The core is the source of strength, and core training is the foundation of functional training.

The above is what the editor introduced to you about core strength and the role of its training. I believe that after reading the above introduction, everyone will have a certain understanding of it. Not only athletes, but we should also pay more attention to core strength training in our daily exercise, which can improve our effectiveness and make our exercise more effective.
