At a glance
The tool does not need a new scoreboard. For Core, start from Key muscles (Transversus abdominis, obliques, multifidus, diaphragm) and then read Primary role (Spinal stabilization and force transfer).

Type of check 3 of 4: open the existing tool and hold Key muscles in mind. The atlas states it as Transversus abdominis, obliques, multifidus, diaphragm.
Primary role
Then read Primary role: Spinal stabilization and force transfer. The tool is a way to see the figure, not a promise that the figure will stay still.
Why this search
The core is the coordinated group of trunk muscles that stabilizes the spine and pelvis, transferring force between the upper and lower body during nearly every movement. People search this before they open Core. The page exists so the search lands on the tool instead of a copied essay.
