They found increased rectus abdominis muscle activity when performing trunk flexion exercises with added elastic resistance from a portable device (Perfect Abs).

Assessing the effect of relative load during different trunk flexion exercises, Sternlicht et al. (2003) compared a number of abdominal exercises (Ab Roller Plus, Torso Track 2, AB - Doer Pro, and the Perfect Abs) to the traditional curl up.

Assessing the effect of stability during both compound and trunk flexion exercises, Mok et al. (2014) assessed the muscle activity of the abdominals in a number of suspension exercises including the hip abduction plank (feet in straps), press up, inverted row and hamstring curl (feet in straps).

Not exact matches

So many abdominal exercises involve hip and trunk flexion — sit - ups, leg raises, crunches — all of them involve drawing the hips and rib cage closer together, potentially causing shortening of the hip flexors.

Comparing hamstring strain injury prevention and rehabilitation exercises, Orishimo & McHugh (2015) found that the supine sliding leg curl (Slider) produced greater gluteus maximus EMG amplitude during the eccentric phase than the standing elastic - band resisted hip extension, the standing trunk flexion (Glider) or the standing split (Diver).

The researchers this time compared a number of exercises that utilised the upper - body weight as leverage including static inverted row, L - sit, trunk extension (static horizontal back extension), static lateral flexion of the trunk (static horizontal flexion).

Patients with PL commonly have compensatory postures (FIGURE 3), including increased cranial weight shift and increased flexion of the lumbosacral, coxofemoral, and stifle joints.23 To address compensatory patterns, trunk - and core - strengthening exercises are also warranted, as are massage and soft tissue mobilization techniques.
