Engagement of the core abdominal muscles is essential to maintain proper alignment, technique, and safety. This study compared the muscular amplitude of the upper and lower rectus abdominis muscles' EMG during six Pilates-based abdominal exercises with the FITNESSGRAM in order to determine which may be more effective for dancers. A sphygmomanometer is used as a training tool for neutral pelvis stability; therefore this study also investigated the muscle activation of the Pilates-based exercises with and without the use of a sphygmomanometer to determine which would be more effective in muscular engagement.
