What does the core tightening of sports mean?
Core tightening in exercise refers to focusing on the core parts of the body, such as abdomen, buttocks, lower back and so on. And by deliberately tightening muscles to maintain the balance and stability of the body. Doing so can effectively exercise the core strength, improve the stability and balance of the body, and help correct bad posture and exercise habits. So core tightening is a very important part of exercise.

The practical method of core tightening is very simple. Keep the muscles of abdomen, buttocks and lower back tight when doing exercise. For example, slightly tightening the lower abdomen and buttocks during running can prevent shaking when walking and speed up; Tightening abdominal muscles when doing sit-ups can enhance abdominal exercise. After a certain period of practice, core tightening will become muscle memory and form good exercise habits.
