Trunk is trump - why the trunk muscles are so important

"Trumpfist Trumpf" - Did you know that the trunk muscles are one of the most important muscle groups in our body? A well-trained trunk musculature is not only crucial for good posture, but also has other advantages:  

-> Strong core muscles help increase performance during sports activities. A stable core improves power transfer to the arms and legs. Without a stable base, the arms and legs cannot develop the power they can with a stable torso.

 

-> Well-trained trunk muscles stabilize the pelvis and help keep it in line with the hips and lower back.  

 

-> Back pain is also alleviated or even prevented by strong trunk muscles. The trunk muscles surround the spine and protect it from external influences. In addition, they prevent an incorrect load on the spine.
