Course Summary
The core is far more than the abdominal “six-pack.” It is the stabilising system that links the upper and lower body, enabling efficient, safe, and powerful movement. This course helps coaches redefine core training from an aesthetic approach to a functional, evidence-based discipline focused on posture, performance, and injury prevention.
By understanding the anatomy, biomechanics, and coaching principles of core stability, trainers can design effective programmes that enhance every other movement pattern.
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
– Explain the anatomy and biomechanical function of the core.
– Apply exercises that develop stability, mobility, and integration.
– Recognise and correct common movement compensations.
– Incorporate progressive core strategies into client programmes.
