What are Core Exercises? Why are they Important?


core exercises

What is Your Core Strength?

Core Strength (or Stabilisation) determines your body’s ability to dynamically control and support your spine via deep and specific muscles.
Your spine is an inherently unstable area. Your lower back has five vertebrae that sit on top of a triangular bone called the sacrum, which wedges itself into the pelvis. The vertebrae allow twisting, bending and arching. Unfortunately, without constant muscular support or your core stabilisers, your spine would fall in a heap on the ground.
Your deep core muscles are the main structures that support, control and move your lower spine and pelvis. They are also the most energy efficient and ideally located muscles to do the job for 24 hours a day.
When you suffer back pain, we know that your deep core stability muscles automatically turn off! This leaves your spine vulnerable to further injury and persisting chronic pain. However, you can reactivate these muscles via specific retraining.

Your core strength can be tested by an experienced Physiotherapist who has undertaken core stability retraining. An even more effective technique for the testing of your core stability muscles is via real-time ultrasound retraining.

    Strength Exercises

    Strengthening exercises are best known for bulking up your muscles and lift heavy weights. However, strengthening exercises have different requirements depending upon your treatment goals, sport or function.
    Basic muscle strength is required for joint control during your simple everyday tasks. These tasks can include static activities (such as sitting or standing posture) or dynamic activities(such as walking, running, reaching, lifting or throwing). The tasks that you require strengthening for pre-determines the specific strengthening exercises that will help you to achieve your goals. Your physiotherapist is an expert who can guide you.
    In addition to muscle strength, which can involve power, endurance and speed of contraction, the timing and balance of muscle contractions is very important.

    Specific Muscle Strengthening

    Your muscles have different roles to play. Muscles are predominately fast twitch, slow twitch or endurance-based stabilisation muscles. Their roles all differ so they should be exercised the depending upon their specific characteristics. For example,
    Stability muscle exercises with generally be low intensity - long duration type exercises. 
    Dynamic strengthening exercises are more likely to be higher intensity (weight, speed, power) and shorter duration but this can vary.
    Each strengthening exercise and the speed that it is performed will strengthen your muscles in different ways.  The best way to prioritise the exact strength exercises that are most appropriate to your needs is to discuss your case with your physiotherapist or sports coach.

    What are Core Strength Exercises?

    Core stability retraining is a vital component of optimising your core strength program while reducing your chance of injury and improved performance. In basic terms, your core muscle provide a solid platform that your dynamic muscles enact upon. In most cases, your abdomen or back core muscles are the best known core muscles, but they also exist in other regions.
    The important thing to remember is that if you are not performing core stability exercises, you should be! It's one reason why elite athletes are elite performers.
