AB  - OBJECTIVES: To assess abdominal muscles (AM) activity during prone, side, and 
      supine bridge on stable and unstable surfaces (BOSU, Swiss Ball). DESIGN: 
      Prospective comparison study. SETTING: Research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: 
      Thirty-three healthy volunteers from a university population. MAIN OUTCOME 
      MEASURES: Surface electromyography of the rectus abdominis (RA), the external 
      oblique (EO) and the internal oblique with the transversus abdominis (IO-TA). 
      RESULTS: The AM exhibited the highest activity during prone bridge on a Swiss 
      Ball (RA, EO, IO-TA 44.7 +/- 19.2, 54.7 +/- 22.9, 36.8 +/- 18.6 in % of MVC, 
      respectively). The lowest activity was observed during supine bridge on a stable 
      surface and a BOSU (under 5.0). The lowest ratio analyzed on the basis of the 
      relation of EO and IO-TA activity to RA was obtained during prone bridge on the 
      Swiss Ball (1.4 +/- 0.7 for EO, 0.9 +/- 0.5 for IO-TA). The highest ratio was 
      obtained during prone bridge on stable surface and supine bridges. CONCLUSIONS: 
      The highest level of activity in the abdominal muscles is achieved during prone 
      bridge on a Swiss Ball. However, this exercise provided the lowest activity of 
      the EO and IO-TA in relation to RA. It is essential to conduct further studies 
      verifying the usefulness of using Swiss Ball during core stability training.
