Capacidad estabilizadora del Transverso abdominal en deportistas de halterofilia de la Federación Deportiva del Azuay Octubre 2022-Marzo 2023

In weightlifting, the transversus abdominis is a very important musculature due to its participation in free load exercises, since it accomplishes a stabilizing function. This function is compromised when subjected to submaximal loads, which is why this population uses a weightlifting belt to counter it. The information on the evaluation of this musculature in this specific group is limited. The Sahrmann test proves to be a useful tool in the evaluation of TrA. To determine the stabilizing capacity of the Transversus abdominis through the Sahrmann Central Stability Test in weightlifting athletes from the FDA. Descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out on FDA athletes. For data collection, a registration form was used and for evaluation the Sahrmann Central Stability Test together with the Chattanooga Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback device. The tabulation and analysis of the data required the GNU PSPP v1.6.2 and Microsoft Excel 2016 programs. The information was stored in a database and the results were expressed in tables and graphs. It was found that 66.6% of the studied population presents a deficient stabilizing capacity since they do not reach levels greater than or equal to 3 in the Sahrmann Central Stability Test, in addition, it was evidenced that athletes use the belt more than 5 times a month and their sports practice time is greater than 18 months.
