Basic Muscles Explanation
The oblique muscles participate in trunk twists movements and torso lateral flexions. These muscles are divided in external and internal and they cover the front and lateral part of the abdomen from the abdominal rectus to the major dorsal, and its fibres are located diagonally in a V form. Located directly under the external obliques they form an inverted V.

Sport Uses
The practical use of this exercise is justified in sports like boxing, shot-put, javeline throwing among others, due to the use of muscles that make the trunk rotate.
