Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Trunk and hip muscle contraction as assessed by real-time ultrasound of abdominal and hip muscles.[Three images will be taken at the end of exhalation during an isometric 30 second hold during each of the three core exercises (rest, hip at 90 degrees flexion and straight leg raise) in each of the three body positions (flat, foam roller and OOV)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Trunk and hip muscle activation as assessed by electromyography[Three separate 3 second data clips (at 5 second intervals) will be captured during an isometric 30 second hold during each of the three core exercises (rest, hip at 90 degrees flexion and straight leg raise) in each of the three body positions (flat, foam roller and OOV)]
