"CORE Training for Musculoskeletal Health: A Study on Adaptive Exercise Protocols"
Sponsor: Ioannis Tsartsapakis
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of an adaptive core training protocol that integrates core stability, core strength, and high-intensity core power exercises on muscle activation, hypertrophy, balance, and quality of life. Forty recreationally active adults with a minimum of two years of consistent training experience will participate. The structured intervention will span multiple weeks and utilize electromyography (EMG), ultrasound imaging, and validated questionnaires to assess neuromuscular and functional adaptations.

Interventions
- Core Training Protocol
This structured training intervention incorporates progressive core exercises designed to enhance neuromuscular activation, balance, and muscle hypertrophy. Participants perform eight exercise triads per session, progressing from core stability drills to high-intensity power movements over eight weeks.
Control Group Core Routine
Control group participants engage in general core activation exercises twice per week, without progressive intensity or specialized neuromuscular adaptation.
