Role of the Mid-Torso in Speed Development
Most sports encompass relatively large movements of the trunk. Since the trunk segment has a large mass, great demands are exerted on the trunk musculature, particularly if the trunk movements are to be performed with high accelerations. Also the trunk has a critical role in the maintenance of stability and balance when performing movements with the extremities.
