The purpose of this study was to investigate whether abdominis activation in individuals with young health adults is greater when performing bridging exercises on an unstable surface versus a stable surface according to six different support condition. Eighteen adults participated spontaneously in this study. They conducted six different support conditions utilizing a sling bridge device and a form for progressive bridging exercises. To measure abdominis activation ratio during each bridging exercise, this study used the ultrasound imaging into internal oblique, external oblique, and transverse abdominis muscles. The main results were that the muscle activation of external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis were significantly different among six different testing position during bridging exercise. The results of this study reported that the activations of trunk muscles are significantly different on different position during bridging exercise in healthy young adults. The results also reported that the one leg rise and other leg sling position was greater excitability of trunk muscles, especially external oblique and internal oblique.
