Abstract
The purpose of this study was attempted to identify the changes in aymmetry of left/right trunk muscles during static and dynamic trunk stabilization. The subject of t his study were 16 adolescent women basketball players (training group: 8, control group: 8). The training gro up performed asymmetric neuromuscular training for 8 weeks, whereas the control group did not perform spec ific training. Electromyography was utilized to measure the asymmetrical muscular activities of left and right trunk muscles (rectus abdominis, external obliques, internal obliques, and erector spinae of lower back) during static and dynamic trunk stabilization. The measurement was performed before and after training period. Res ults of this study showed that the training changed the left and right trunk asymmetry in dynamic trunk stabilization (p.05). There wasno changes in the control group. This results indicate that the training can change the neuromuscular system, unilaterally. We expect that further study could demonstrate the decrease of the unbalanced muscular response between left and right trunk muscles, through the asymmetric neuromuscular training.
