There is an excellent review article in Vol 85, Supplement 1, March 2004 Archives of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation. The title is”Core Strengthening”
The authors are Venu Akuthota MD and Scott F. Nadler, DO.
To quote from them “… all core muscles are needed for optimal stabilization and performance.” I find it very ironic that many experts who preach functional multi joint and multi plane movement in the rest of the body strongly advocate isolating the the muscles of the core, especially the Internal Oblique and Tranverse Abdominis. Isolation does not work, in fact with the deep muscles of the core it is very difficult. Movement is integrated regardless of of the body segment. Isolation creates neural confusion!
