CORE THEORY PRINCIPLES.
According to the following information, can you have a guess about the main problems of the abdominals muscles?, can you understand the relevance of a healthy and efficient CORE workout?.
Helpful questions:
- What type of muscles are there?
- In which group can we include the abdominals muscles?
- What is the main dysfunction for that type of muscles?
- Which are the muscles mainly related with the abdominals muscles?
Give it a try....
Muscles can be classified as "Tonic" or "Phasic" (Umphred, 2001).
Tonic Muscle System: (prone to tightness). Involved in repetitive and rhythmic activities consists of flexors muscles.
- Generally flexor or postural muscles
- Tendency to tightness or shortening
- Easily activated and fatigue quickly
- less likely to atrophy
- Less fragile
- Typically one joint muscles
Phasic Muscle System: (prone to weakness). Work eccentrically against the force of gravity
- Generally extensor muscles
- Tendency towards weakness or lengthening
- Delayed activation, weak
- More likely to atrophy
- More fragile
- Typically two joint muscles

MUSCLES PRONE TO TIGHTNESS
A) UPPER BODY: - Suboccipitals. - Pectorals. - Upper trapezius. - Levator Scapula. - ECM. - Scalenes. - Latissimus Dorsi. - Upper extremity flexors and pronators. B) LOWER BODY: - Quadratus Lumborum. - Paraspinalis. - Piriformis. - Iliopsoas. - Rectus Femoris. - IT band. - Hamstrings. - Short hip Adductors. - Soleus. - Tibialis posterior. |
MUSCLES PRONE TO WEAKNESS
A) UPPER BODY: - Middle and lower trapezius. - Rhomboids. - Serratus Anterior. - Deep Cervical Flexors. - Upper extremity extensors and supinators. B) LOWER BODY: - Rectus Abdominals. - Transverse Abdominals. - Gluteus. - Vastus lateralis, medalis. - Tibialis anterior. - Peroneals. |
IMBALANCE BASED ON JANDA'S SYNDROME.
Based on Muscles classification, Janda described the Imbalance Syndrome. Muscle Imbalance occurs when opposing muscles provide different directions of tension due to tightness and/ or weakness. When muscles become imbalance, the can cause joint pain.
