The four main abdominal muscles from deep to superficial are:
1. Transversus abdominis - draws the abdominal wall inward toward the spine protecting internal organs
2. Internal oblique - rotates the torso to the same side and side bends the spine
3. External oblique - rotates the torso to the opposite side and side bends the spine
4. Rectus abdominus - causes the spine to bow forward and tucks the pelvis under
The concept of planes and axes of movement can be complex and difficult to understand. This presentation provides a graphical representation of each concept and examples of each to demonstrate each concept in a simpler manner.

THE CORE is associated with abdominal muscle groups (transversus abdominis, internal/external obliques, rectus abdominis), hip abductors/adductors, hip flexors, and the lumbar spine.
This presentation outlines all of the muscles involved in developing core stability including:
- origin
- insertion
- action
The muscles found in and around the hips are known as the hip flexors. These include muscles like the internal obliques, iliopsoas, sartorius, gracilis, and fascia latae tensors. When these muscle become tight because of constant flexion and contraction, they can create pain. This pain is most often felt in daily activities like climbing stairs and lifting objects from the ground. Athletically, tight hip flexors will compromise running activities, and all resistance training that includes rotation of the pelvis.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. 4 ABDOMINAL MUSCLES
Listed deep to superficial:
1. Transversus Abdominus
2. Internal Oblique
3. External Oblique
4. Rectus Abdominus
3. Transversus Abdominus
The TVA Attaches to the ribs,
pelvis, and lower back
creating a corset to protect the
organs and support the spine.
When engaged, TVA pulls
the abdominal wall inward
toward the spine.
Action: Drawing in
4. The Internal Oblique
Abdominals rotate
the spine and rib cage
to the same direction.
This is called
ipsilateral rotation.
Do you see how
the muscle fibers are
arranged on a upward
diagonal?
Pictured here are the
Left Internal Obliques,
so they would rotate
the torso to the left.
This muscle along with some
of the back muscles side
bend the spine, which is
also known as lateral flexion.
This muscle can also assists
with drawing the abdominal
wall toward the spine
(along with the TVA).
Actions: ipsilateral rotation,
lateral flexion, drawing in
5. External Obliques
This muscle rotates the spine and rib
cage to the opposite direction. This
is called contralateral rotation.
This muscle along with some of the
back muscles side bend the spine,
which is also known as lateral
flexion.
Do you see how the muscle fibers
are arranged on a Downward
diagonal? Pictured here are the
Left External Obliques, so they
would rotate the torso to the
right.
Actions: contralateral rotation,
lateral flexion
6. Pictured here are the Internal
& External Oblique
Abdominals.
Notice how the fibers run on a
diagonal into one other.
When paired up, they
become a powerful team.
Right Rotation =
Left External Oblique &
Right Internal Oblique
Left Rotation =
Right External Oblique &
Left Internal Oblique
7. Rectus Abdominus This muscle causes the spine
to bow forward, more
formally known as spinal
flexion.
This muscle can also cause
the pelvis to tuck under,
which is known as a
posterior tilt.
If one does not engage the
TVA, this muscle often
pops up creating a
“mountain.”
Actions: Spinal Flexion &
Posterior Pelvic Tilt
