Revision of Abdominal Collaboration from Wed, 12/02/2009 - 4:32pm
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
Courtney Gaskell and I have started to compile information on various ab workouts and have photographed them. To start out goal is to create a powerpoint presentation with the workouts and also add information about the importance of strong core for every lifestyle. This is just the beginning of the project and we are open to input on other directions we can take our project in.

I added the pictures that we took of the core workout to the powerpoint today.
Hey how is the powerpoint coming along? Find anything interesting? We need to get together and work on it somemore!
It is coming along just fine. I've been researching articles so I am going to try and post a few of them. We should get together for sure and finish it up soon. Let me know if there is anything else you want me to work on.
Courtney, I just posted one article that discusses core strength and ACL injuries. I am going to post the other articles on here too.
Abstract- Adequate abdominal strength prevents work- and sports-related injuries and stabilizes the spine for athletic activities. The double-leg-lowering maneuver (DLLM) is a popular test to assess abdominal strength because of its simplicity; however, its validity and reliability have not been studied thoroughly. To determine the validity and reliability of the DLLM, 4 examiners evaluated 28 subjects. The validity of the DLLM was evaluated with the Nicholas Hand-Held Dynamometer (NHHD) as the gold standard. The DLLM scores were compared to themselves for reliability and to NHHD scores for validity. Reliability for the DLLM was very high (r = 0.932). Validity of the DLLM was low (r = -0.338 to -0.446). The DLLM is reliable, but it has low validity to assess abdominal strength. The DLLM may be a useful tool to assess pelvic tilt motor control for spine stability, but it is not suitable for assessing muscle strength. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
