Core Strength Decoded: Measuring Power for Rehab and Performance

In this episode of Strength In Knowledge, we break down the science of core performance with insights from Erika Zemková’s research on strength and power-related assessments. Core muscles do more than just support your posture—they’re pivotal in athletic performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. But how do we measure their effectiveness?We explore how Zemková’s study sheds light on the most relevant and practical ways to evaluate core muscle strength and power in both clinical and sports settings. Whether you're rehabbing an athlete or optimizing performance on the field, this episode provides actionable insights into integrating core assessments into your training or therapy protocols.

🎯 Listen in as we discuss what makes a strong core truly functional—and how you can assess it with purpose.
