INTRODUCTION

In the last few years many strength training programs have evolved to emphasize strengthening muscles of the core, that is, muscles of the trunk and pelvis?the "core" of the body?in addition to the muscles of the shoulders, arms, and legs. Core training, especially for athletes, should be specific to the required sports skills; thus, particular muscle groups in the core may be more or less important for a given individual. These groups include the abdominals (rectus abdominis, tranversus abdominis, internal and external abdominal obliques), hip musculature (iliopsoas; rectus femoris; sartorius; tensor fasciae latae; pectineus; gluteus maximus, medius and minimus; semitendinosus; semimembranosus; biceps femoris; adductor brevis, longus, and magnus; gemellus superior and inferior; obturator internus and externus; quadratus femoris; piriformis), and spinal musculature (erector spinae; quadratus lumborum; paraspinals; trapezius; psoas major; quadratus lumborum; multifidus; iliocastalis lumborum and thoracis; rotatores; latissiums dorsi; and serratus anterior).

What are the advantages of core strength training? What equipment, if any, is required for this type of training? What is the evidence that core strength training is more effective than more traditional types of strength training? These are some of the questions we asked our panel of strength training experts.
