AI synopsis

What people are saying

This collection of discussions reflects a general agreement with the research, with posts referencing specific muscles like the transversus abdominis and multifidus, and exploring the implications for sprint training and injury prevention. The tone varies from curiosity to practical considerations, indicating moderate engagement and perceived impact.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions recognize the link between deep core muscle thickness and sprint performance, indicating general agreement with the article's findings.

InterestModerate interest

Posts show curiosity about the research, especially with mentions of specific muscles like TA and MM, and questions about implications for training.

EngagementModerate engagement

Discussions include references to related studies, personal experiences, and implications for athletic training, reflecting moderate depth.

ImpactModerate impact

The conversations highlight potential practical uses, such as injury prevention and performance optimization, suggesting some influence on sports training practices.

Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how the thickness of deep trunk muscles like the transversus abdominis (TA), multifidus (MM), and psoas major (PM) relates to 100m sprint performance in male college sprinters, finding that thicker TA and MM muscles are associated with faster sprint times up to certain points.
  • Results showed that the TA muscle had a moderate negative correlation with sprint time, meaning thicker TA muscles were linked to better performance, while the relationship for MM was weaker and not statistically significant, and PM showed no clear correlation.
  • Using advanced analysis, researchers identified "changepoints" in muscle thickness—specific thresholds beyond which increasing muscle size no longer improved sprint times, highlighting that muscle development benefits performance only to a certain point.

大学生短距離(100m)陸上選手のタイムって、腹横筋とか多裂筋の肥大と関係あるわよ、という報告。腹横筋が4.70 (4.00-5.43)mm、多裂筋は3.84 (3.28-4.31)cmくらいの厚みまでは明確に「厚い方が速い」という関係性があり、これ以上の肥大は特にプラスにはならないとのこと。 https://t.co/VRQYKdvK8B

Sprint performance for 100-m was found to be associated with TA and MM thickness in a biphasic manner. As muscle thickness increased, the sprint time decreased, followed by a plateau phase." https://t.co/B0n7mI973w https://t.co/qZovOFbZIU

Having squatted big weight, done plyos & train AFL 20yrs but then in rehab looked at TA & Multifidus had to concede there seemed a link. Time & time again I saw players with injuries have crap ability to use TA & poor dvt multifidus. Stuffed if I know Ha. https://t.co/KFuWd3noRW

Why Glute Max? Propulsion? Pelvic conbtrol? All of the above? Also a similar paper here, slightly slower group and a little under powered IMO but transverse abs = sig correlation with 100m sprint (-.691), but no correlation between sprint and psoas size https://t.co/wbWbn4Gx0c
