Efficacy of Pall-of Press vs. Russian Twists on Core muscles of recreational athletes -A Randomized Trial

Over the last few years, Pall-of Press is an exercise widely used by strength and conditioning coaches in improving the rotational core muscles strength. Pall-of Press is an isometric type of exercise. Russian Twists is a dynamic type of exercise used widely over decades in any core muscles protocol. This study compares the difference between Pall-of Press (static/isometric) and Russian twists (dynamic). This study compares the effect of Pall-of Press and Russian Twists on stability of the rotational muscles of core. This study also observed if there was any difference produced in the endurance and strength of core muscles (rotational muscles) by Pall-of Press and Russian Twists. According to the methodology, 50 recreational athletes were included in the study after screening them based on the selection criteria. McGill’s Torso Endurance test was used to measure endurance and Kneeling Medicine Ball Throw Test (Rotational component) was used to measure the strength of rotational muscles of core.
