Core Training
One of the most popular gym terms used today, more and
more athletes understand the importance of building
core muscle strength and endurance. However,
the gym science, and the real science often differ greatly.
While its popularity grows, fewer and fewer trainers are
actually understanding what the core is
actually composed off, and even fewer truly understand how
to train it! Working hand in hand with the Sports
Medicine team at SPC, who have
conducted research on core muscle training
and have lectured on the topic internationally, our strength
and conditioning staff are up-to-date on the latest research,
and techniques regarding core conditioning.
Importance of Core Strength Training
- Improving core strength increases the individual’s ability to transfer power through the trunk, whether it is from the legs manifested through to the arms into an implement as seen with throwing a ball or trunk rotation beginning the movement of striking a soccer ball.
- Decreases the risk of injury associated with low back pain and various muscular imbalances and hyper mobility.
SPC’s Key Training Characteristics:
- Progression of exercises should be dictated by continued success of the technique rather than relying only on sets and reps.
- Proper bracing techniques used to increase activation of proper musculature.
