Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Core training has been gradually accepted worldwide. “Core” is only a generalized perception, and how to define the muscles, the difference among the muscles and the mode of the muscle recruitment consist of the important part of research work on core training.

OBJECTIVE: From the aspects of theoretical basis, the development of training methods and measurement of training effectiveness, to elaborate the method issues and new insights on core stability training.
METHODS: PubMed, ScienceDirect and CNKI databases were searched by the keywords of “core training, core exercise, core strength” in the titles and abstract to retrieve relevant articles published from 1979 to 2013.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The neural subsystem was first reported by Panjabi to monitor the various signals from the transducers and direct the active subsystem to provide the needed stability. Neutral zone is regarded as an important clinical indicator relevant to spinal stability. Spinal injury and muscle weakening can result in spinal instability and even low back pain and peripheral pain. Core trainings include Swiss ball, plank exercise, sling exercise and so on. Up to now, research on core training is focusing on its mechanism. Core stability training is not only defined as torso stability training, but also refined to the stability training of each joint.
