The legs are the origin of force development, exerting force against the ground that is further transferred up and throughout the body for all movements. As well the trunk (abdominal-low back complex) has a tremendous importance in sport.

All forces transferred from ground up, so if the core is weak, force is reduced as it is transferred to upper torso. Hip and trunk rotation, core stabilization and dynamic balance are key aspects to optimal athletic performance.
