Exercises that improve muscle activation are essential for maintaining spinal stability and preventing low back pain. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of abdominal hollowing and bracing on the activation of the core muscles in CrossFit® participants using ultrasound and electromyography (EMG). Twenty-four healthy adults aged 21 to 42 years old with at least two years of CrossFit® experience performed three core stability exercises (plank, side plank, bridge) with abdominal hollowing and bracing. We measured the ultrasound relative thickness of the local core muscles (transversus abdominis, internal oblique, and lumbar multifidus), and the EMG percentage of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the global core muscles (rectus abdominis, external oblique, and iliocostalis lumborum). Analysis of variance tests showed that the relative thickness of the local core muscles was greater (p = 0.016) during hollowing (range from 26.8 ± 5.33 to 88.4 ± 11.9% of rest) than bracing (range from 15.9 ± 3.54 to 61.2 ± 15.9% of rest), while the EMG of the global muscles was greater (p = 0.001) in bracing (range from 24.4 ± 7.30 to 72.5 ± 9.17% of MVC) than hollowing (range from 16.4 ± 3.70 to 56.6 ± 7.65% of MVC). These results indicate that the recruitment of spinal muscles during popular exercises is achieved with both hollowing and bracing. Nevertheless, it appears that hollowing tends to recruit more of the local muscles, whilst bracing recruits more of the global muscles. The grading of the exercises varied between muscles and varied between maneuvers, especially for the surface abdominals and lumbar muscles. CrossFit® practitioners can choose to use either hollowing or bracing to activate their core muscles more selectively or more appropriately, depending on the goal and purpose of the exercise.

“…The results are based on the fact that the fit indices of the original nine-factor, 36-item PAIN_Integral Scale© met the criteria for goodness of fit. Although previous studies did not find differences between women and men in the mean scores of the complete scale [ 24 , 25 ], when the invariance of the instrument was verified from the comparison of the metric ( p < 0.001), scalar ( p < 0.001) and strict invariance ( p < 0.001) models, differences were identified between women and men.…”

“…The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) demonstrated a good fit for the proposed 9-subscale model Goodness of Fit Index (GFI = 0.93), the Standardised Root Mean Residual (SRMR = 0.05), and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA = 0.06). Scores on the scale range from 36 to 180 points and are divided into three intervals (36–130: Severe impact; 131–135: Moderate impact; 136–180: Mild impact) [ 24 , 25 ].…”

“…The low use by healthcare professionals can be justified by the large number of instruments to assess each of the aspects affected by CNCP, the variability of the methodologies and the lack of knowledge healthcare professionals have about them [ 22 , 23 ]. Considering these reasons, the PAIN_Integral Scale© instrument was designed and preliminarily validated in response to the need to combine all the biological, psychological and sociocultural aspects that are altered by CNCP in a single instrument, speeding up the assessment process [ 24 , 25 ].…”

The experience of chronic non-cancer pain differs between women and men due to gender-related factors. This study (1) assessed the difference in responses to the impact of chronic non-cancer pain on daily life in women and men using the PAIN_Integral Scale© and (2) evaluated its invariance through multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. This was conducted by means of an analysis of invariance through a multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. A cross-sectional sample of 400 participants over 18 years of age with Chronic Non-Oncological Pain in Pain Units and Primary Care Centres belonging to the Spanish Public Health System was recruited (January to March 2020). An analysis was performed to assess whether any of the items in the instrument showed different behaviours. All analyses were performed using AMOS® v.26 software. The results showed that the structure of the PAIN_Integral© Scale remained adequate when analysing its invariance in women and men, showing no metric, scalar and/or strict invariance. Therefore, these results indicated that the PAIN_Integral Scale© instrument has a different interpretation for women and men, identifying eight items with a singular functioning in both sexes and belonging to the subscales of proactivity, resilience and support network. These findings can be explained by gender stereotypes, since the dimensions where there are differences have an important social burden.
