Synopsis

Twenty-five healthy female professional soccer players were randomized to receive 8 weeks of abdominal exercise training plus gluteus medius specific training (n=13) or 8 weeks of abdominal exercise training only (n=12) for the improvement of lumbo-pelvic stability and adductor muscle strength. The outcomes of interest included lumbo-pelvic stability measured via a dynamic neuromuscular stabilizat...
