Muscles Worked: A plank is a full-body exercise, but specifically, it works your transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis (aka the six-pack), internal and external obliques and scapular (shoulder ...
The vacuum exercise is an exercise which involves contracting some internal abdominal muscles, primarily the transverse abdominal muscle, and not as much the diaphragm. Repetitions of the exercise may be used as a form of endurance training, and light strength training. There is difficulty building strength in the muscle, as it is not easy to ...
The transverse abdominal and the segmental stabilizers (e.g. the multifidi) of the spine have evolved to work in tandem. It is true that the TVA is vital to back and core health, the muscle also has the effect of pulling in what would otherwise be a protruding abdomen (hence its nickname, the “corset muscle”).
[5] [6] The anterior abdominal wall is made up of four muscles—the rectus abdominis muscle, the internal and external obliques, and the transversus abdominis."The two internal muscles, the internal oblique, and the transverse abdominis, respond more to increases in chemical or volume-related drive than the two external muscles, the rectus ...
rectus abdominis: 2 1 longissimus capitis Torso/Neck, Back, right/left articular processes of C4-C7; transverse processes of T1-T5 posterior margin of mastoid process: lateral sacral artery: posterior branch of spinal nerve: extends/flexes vertebral column, flexes head and neck to same side rectus abdominis: 2 1 longissimus colli Torso, Back ...
The linea semilunaris (also semilunar line or Spigelian line) is described by Adriaan van den Spiegel (°1578 †1625) described the Linea Semilunaris as the line forming and marking the transition from muscle to aponeurosis in the transversus abdominis muscle of the abdomen. It needs to be distinguished from the lateral border of the rectus ...
Abdominal muscles cover the anterior and lateral abdominal region and meet at the anterior midline. These muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall can be divided into four groups: the external obliques , the internal obliques , the transversus abdominis , and the rectus abdominis .
The thoracolumbar fascia (lumbodorsal fascia or thoracodorsal fascia) is a complex, [1]: 1137 multilayer arrangement of fascial and aponeurotic layers forming a separation between the paraspinal muscles on one side, and the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall (quadratus lumborum, and psoas major [1]: 1137 ) on the other.
