Why should young athletes work on pelvic and abdominal muscles?

Young Athletes playing professional or recreational sports like Horseback riding seldom manifest any adverse symptoms. It is very vital for these young athletes to think about prevention and not wait until the symptoms appear. I have had the privilege to treat many young professional athletes who have benefited from proprioceptive exercises to improve their performance in their respective sport. If these young athletes can learn and understand the importance of correctly activating deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, they will be able to effectively maintain their performance for longer periods of time. This would be a great tool to prevent injuries or muscle dysfunction due to overuse. Deep pelvic and abdominal muscles increase balance and proprioception, improve ability to breath through your diaphragm, allowing co-activation through abdominals and deep back muscles leading to improved balance in the seat.
