CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES
Plank and TRX Endurance
The purpose of this research study is to determine the reliability of ultrasound and electromyography muscle activation measurements of the lumbopelvic-hip complex during the prone bridge plank on a treatment table, yoga mat, fitness ball, and on a TRX suspension cable. Additionally, the study will compare muscle activity and rate of force development on the TRX suspension exercise cable during a series of plank and hip bridges. This study will test these measures in healthy individuals in order to eventually compare the influence of exercise surface on the prone bridge plank exercise in healthy and injured groups.
