External Oblique
The External Oblique is a muscle located on the side and front of the abdomen. It plays a crucial role in trunk movement, allowing for rotation and lateral flexion. This muscle helps stabilize the pelvis and supports the abdominal organs.
In addition to movement, the External Oblique contributes to core strength and posture. It works in conjunction with other abdominal muscles, such as the Rectus Abdominis and Internal Oblique, to facilitate various physical activities, including bending and twisting motions. Strengthening this muscle can improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.
