- The aim of this study was to examine the thickness of abdominal muscles at rest and during hypopressive exercise in supine and standing positions with ultrasound imaging in healthy adults. (uvigo.es)
- The thickness of the abdominal muscles at rest and during hypopressive exercise was assessed with ultrasound imaging in supine and standing positions. (uvigo.es)

Flat abdominal1
- The flat abdominal plane is broken up only by the costal margins, anterior superior iliac spines, and the umbilicus. (medscape.com)
Consist1
- These consist of the rectus abdominae, the transverse abdominae and the internal and external obdominal oblique muscles. (horsesinsideout.com)
Ovarian1
- The terms "tubal pregnancy", "ovarian pregnancy", "cervical pregnancy", and "abdominal pregnancy" all refer to the specific areas of an ectopic pregnancy . (wordinfo.info)
Core muscles6
- What actions do core muscles perform? (edocamerica.com)
- The core muscles serve as an important link between the muscles of the upper and lower body. (edocamerica.com)
- Even desk jobs can be less taxing to the back when core muscles are strong. (edocamerica.com)
- In addition, they reported that isometric exercises such as prone bridge could provide adequate stimulation for the core muscles. (researchgate.net)
- But, true mastery over these powerful core muscles goes beyond mere physical strain. (korvioinfotech.com)
- What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic core muscles? (otpbooks.com)
Contraction5
- it has gated channels in its membrane that open at the right times to release a flood of Ca^2+ into the cytosol, where the calcium activates the muscle contraction process. (freezingblue.com)
- Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments. (lookformedical.com)
- A state arrived at through prolonged and strong contraction of a muscle. (lookformedical.com)
- 4. Co-Contraction of muscle GroupsIncorporating slow, controlled, accurate closed-kinetic chain exercises (an exercise in which movement at one joint produces movement at another joint - an open-kinetic chain exercise, on the other hand, involves independent joint movement) is imperative. (astazi.net)
- Furthermore, co-contraction of the suitable muscles in a neutral position is also required. (astazi.net)
Muscular2
- This is related to the degree of both mental and muscular relaxation and recruitment of the flexor chain of muscles. (horsesinsideout.com)
- There are antagonist muscles: those that oppose or work to reduce or balance the muscular action of the agonist. (mytpi.com)
Hernias1
- Abdominal hernias are usually a clinical diagnosis and have been considered a simple problem to be repaired. (radiologyassistant.nl)
Multifidus1
- This study looked specifically at the Internal oblique and multifidus muscles. (dancewright.com.au)
