CORE: The Lower Abdomen, Pelvis
            and Hip

          Bradley Pike, ATC, PT
    College Athletic Trainers’ Society
             Mini Session E
             May 15, 2009
Lecture Objectives
• After completion of this mini session, the
  attendee will have a sufficient review of the
  following
  – The musculoskeletal anatomy of the
    abdomen, pelvis, and hip
  – Identify, through palpation, the muscles of the
    abdomen, pelvis, and hip
  – The introduction of a core control and activation
    program
  – The introduction of a groin injury prevention
    program
What is the core?
• Michael Clark (NASM) defines the core as the
  lumbo-pelvic-hip complex
  – Contains center of gravity
  – Where all movement begins
  – Athletes with poor core demonstrate poor
    neuromuscular control
  – Core exercises should be at the beginning of each
    program to activate prior to heavy loads
Core Myths
• You can target upper and lower abs
• Electric stimulation will get you the abs you
  have always wanted
• We should all have 6 packs



Ab-solute Facts Abdominal Myths Dismissed by Brent Brookbush
Core Facts
• 5 separate EMG studies compared several
  abdominal exercises and found the standard
  crunch created significantly larger EMG
  activity and that 3 studies found the greatest
  activity on a swiss ball
• We all have a 6 pack
• Your abs do not attach to your legs so they can
  not lift, lower or twist

does not appear to be
able to functionally
fire upper vs. lower
parts independently

•Differentially to
create twisting torque

•Work together to
provide spine flexion

process of first
through fourth lumbar
vertebra
