In the process of making any movement, the beginning of that movement may be in your mind, but, it is first taken up
by the servo mechanisms in the trunk. That is to say, as soon as you think of moving the first muscles to respond to the impulse
are the muscles of the trunk. Not the muscles of the legs, the arms, or the hands and feet. These trunk muscles, so quick
to leap to your commands, do so because they are responsible for the coordination of the whole of the movement. Without the
proper stability of the trunk muscles, the coordination suffers. If you are any kind of athlete, you know that coordination
is king in whatever the athletic venture may be. Get used to the word, transversalis abdominis. The transverse abdominal muscles,
We will get familiar enough with them to call them TVA, simply. The tvas are primarily stamina muscles, so it is possible
to activate them by holding a position which utilizes their function, for a period of time. The trunk stability test takes
six minutes.
