Dynamic Exercises
Driven by Science

Effective training for a stronger body

Research-based Approach

Our methodology is built on solid research, and we have focused on the effects of core muscle activation on both physical and mental health parameters. Research has shown that dynamic core muscle exercises can improve performance by over 12% in athletes in just 8 weeks, which is more than twice as much as traditional static exercises. This improvement has been confirmed through several studies comparing the effect of static and dynamic exercises.

CoreCapacity has received support from a number of studies showing that dynamic exercises not only improve physical performance, but can also contribute to increased concentration, better hormone balance and even increased creativity and productivity. In line with health-oriented research such as Salutogenesis, we focus on how we can promote health by making activities comprehensible, manageable and meaningful for users. Our approach builds on health awareness as a means to help people see how small changes can have a significant impact on health and well-being.

How Core Training Improves Health?

Prevents Musculoskeletal Complaints: Regular core training contributes to strengthening the muscles that support the spine, and prevents strain injuries.
Improves Posture and Mobility: Core training improves posture and reduces the risk of back pain and other musculoskeletal complaints.
Increased Concentration and Productivity: Strengthening of the core muscles can lead to improved mental clarity and increased productivity.
Better Hormone Balance: Research shows that regular training can affect hormone balance positively, which in turn contributes to better health and well-being.

Salutogenesis and Coping Resources

Salutogenesis, which emphasizes health factors such as comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, is a foundation in our training philosophy. Through CoreCapacity we help users identify coping resources in their daily lives. This gives them better tools to handle stress and physical load in a way that not only improves performance, but also gives them better health understanding. We make health improvement both understandable and easily accessible by using research that shows the connection between physical activity and mental health, and how one can make everyday movements more functional and effective.

The Connections Between Training and Health Improvements

Research has shown that we can increase our health and performance through changes in how we move the body. Reduced activation of the core muscles increases the risk of strain injuries and poor postures, which can lead to injuries like prolapse or wear and tear.

By increasing the activation of the core muscles we can improve the body's general health and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal complaints. Our approach builds on research-based methods showing that dynamic core training can have major health benefits in both short and long term.

2.Coping Plans for Long-term Change: Think through potential obstacles before they arise, to maintain training routines even when life sets up challenges.
3.Self-monitoring for Increased Awareness: We encourage following progress, which gives mental encouragement and increased motivation to continue.

Training Methodology and Usability

CoreCapacity is not just a training app, it is a holistic solution for activating and strengthening core muscles with focus on user's health and quality of life. Through our platform we offer both structured training sessions and tools to follow progress, combined with proven methods for behavioral change. The user gets access to an adapted training program based on their individual level and progression, while we use innovative methods like AI to tailor training sessions further.

Research and Data Supporting the Effectiveness of Core Training

Core training's impact on performance and health is not just theoretical; it is documented through several studies showing concrete numbers and effects. For example, research on athletes has shown that effective core training can lead to a performance improvement of over 12%, confirming that our method gives measurable results. In addition, we have evidence that dynamic core muscle training can prevent musculoskeletal complaints, while providing health benefits such as increased productivity, better mood and increased mental clarity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Core Capacity?+

Core Capacity is a Norwegian training methodology and digital app for functional core training, developed in collaboration with the University of Agder and Olympiatoppen. The method combines dynamic exercises, multiple joints and muscle groups to activate the core more effectively than traditional static exercises.

Who is the method for?+

The program has four levels and suits both beginners and experienced athletes. Level 1 offers a manageable introduction to core training, while Level 4 challenges advanced users with high-intensity exercises. For users in demanding life phases, low-intensity exercises at Level 0 are also available.

What is the scientific background?+

The method is based on research from UiA and collaboration with Olympiatoppen. Studies on national-team athletes show performance gains of over 12% after eight weeks of dynamic core training. Findings are documented in publications linked from our literature list.

How do I get started?+

Download the Core Capacity app for iOS or Android, choose your level, and follow the structured training program. The app tailors sessions to your level and lets you track progress over time.
