Comparison of Effects of Static Core Training and Additional Dynamic Core Training in Young Adults: An Experimental Study

Abstract

Core training is a key element in conditioning and fitness programs for athletes and non-athletes [1,2]. Core training is important primarily for the purpose of performance improvement and injury prevention [3], because it provides stability around the trunk by providing a stable base for the distal extremity [4].The core muscles consist of the diaphragm, abdominal external oblique, abdominal internal oblique, transverse abdominis, and pelvic floor muscles [5]. The most representative and traditional static core exercises are crunches and planks, also called stabilization exercises [6,7]. In addition to static core training, dynamic core training is presented in various ways, and dead bug exercise (DBE) is an dynamic core training that is frequently prescribed as an alternative to crunch exercise [8]. Similarly, In physical therapy clinics, DBE is prescribed as an essential exercise for core stability and strength for patients with low back pain [9].Core training is a key component of conditioning and fitness programs for athletes and non-athletes [1,2]. Core training is important primarily for performance
