Workout description

This weeks session focuses on our core strength. The core stabilises your body and increased strength here will build on your trunks ability to generate and maintain force. Enhancing the endurance of your hip and core muscles is very important for sports performance. Enhanced endurance here will allow stabilisation for an increased duration, providing persistent force and power transitions through the body. Scientific research has demonstrated significant relationships between core endurance/strength and with the ability to produce and maintain force. Therefore, the necessity to build and maintain a strong core is essential, not only for sporting performance but also to reduce any likelihood of injury in the future. 

Core sessions are very easy to add into your sessions. The workout here is just an example, but if you don't have the equipment available, get creative and use household items or swap in bodyweight core exercises. Any exercise that puts stress through the abdominal, lower back, hips or pelvic muscles are going to support the development and endurance of your core stability.
