Core strengthening, crucial for lumbar spine stability and rehabilitation, lacks extensive research despite its popularity. This review explores existing literature on core strengthening to understand its concept and application.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Sports Science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Core strengthening is a popular trend in rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
  • The term encompasses lumbar stabilization and motor control training.
  • It describes muscular control for functional stability around the lumbar spine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the concept of core strengthening.
  • To review the existing literature on core strengthening.
  • To utilize a theoretical framework for analyzing core strengthening research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review.
  • Theoretical framework application.
  • Analysis of existing studies on core strengthening.

Main Results:

  • Despite widespread use, research on core strengthening is limited.
  • Core strengthening is promoted for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement.
  • The concept is linked to maintaining functional stability of the lumbar spine.

Conclusions:

  • Core strengthening is a key component in various therapeutic and performance programs.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms and efficacy of core strengthening.
  • A theoretical framework can guide future investigations into core strengthening practices.
