At the
core of this cell behavior is how the loss of that single gene changes
activation levels of dozens of other genes, suppressing genes associated with metastatic disease and
increasing activity of genes linked to normal tissue.
Maintaining a neutral spine leads to less injuries, unnecessary compensations, energy conservation, better
core activation and an
increased capacity to handle compressive forces as well as improved scapular mechanics.
We have evidence that with low back pain, for example due to
increased compressive forces on the lumbar spine,
core activation is delayed and there is more excursion with perturbation.
While your squat form may not visibly be any different when you do this squat, this unique focused
activation of the
core will result in significantly
increased power and strength in the exercise.
But various other studies didn't find significantly
increased core muscle
activation and no difference in energy expenditure.
