transversus abdominis
The draw-in maneuver is the activation of the deepest layer of abdominal tissue called the transversus abdominis. This muscle is made of horizontal fibers and runs between the rib cage and the pelvis.
What is the purpose of doing drawing-in maneuver?
The purpose of the drawing-in maneuver, as well as abdominal bracing and similar techniques, is to activate your deepest spinal stabilizer muscles. Based on their position, which is very close to your spinal column and pelvis, spinal stabilizer muscles can have a lot of influence over the well-being of your back.
When properly activated which muscle of the core creates tension in the thoracolumbar fascia?
Transverse abdominis, when properly activated, creates tension in thoracolumbar fascia, contributing to spinal stiffness, and compresses sacroiliac joint, increasing stability.
What is the primary function of the global muscles of the core?
The core muscles have two main functions 1) to spare the spine from excessive load and 2) to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best.

How do you activate ABS?
Core training

- Keep your feet and knees hip width apart.
- Keep your pelvis as still as possible activate your TA and let your one knee drop to the side.
- Bring it back to the middle and repeat with the other side.
- Do at least 5 on each side.
What muscles attaches to the thoracolumbar fascia?
It acts as an attachment site for the trapezius muscle, latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus and the hamstrings group of muscles thus playing an important role in body movements.
