Does transversus abdominis function correlate with prone plank and bench bridge holding time in club cricket players?

Prone plank and bench bridge holding times are not correlated with TA muscle function during abdominal hollowing. Core stability cannot rely on a single test to evaluate its effectiveness. In particular, the contribution of the local and global muscle system to 'core stability' needs to be evaluated independently. Therefore these tests are not sensitive enough to evaluate the contribution of the local muscle system to the global muscle system in a healthy, pain free, sporting population.
