First of all, the
article is a FAIL. I said nothing about McGill's work
The results of a study mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING without extensive knowledge of the test subjects. The subjects of the mentioned studies were back pain patients? senior citizens? professional athletes? Children? athletes? sedentary adults.
You cannot mention anything about the core without talking about the
posture (
A position of the body or of body parts) which is unique from person to person. Posture is influenced over time by the
muscle balance of the associated muscles. (i.e. tight hip flexors causing anterior pelvic tilt and weak glutes which is present in the majority of the population).
If an architect was called to fix a tower, you think the job would be the same with the Eiffel Tower as the Leaning Tower of Pisa? NO This article does not indicate which tower it is talking about, hence is completely pointless from top to bottom...
POSTURE: Is the article talking people w/ posture A, B or C?
MUSCLE BALANCE: Why each person has their specific Posture?
An article titled "Core Myths" [Core myths for who?] leaves the reader to conclude that everything out there is wrong, buy Dr. McGill's books & DVDs.
