Background: The effects of core stability training (CST) on muscle physiology in adults with chronic low back pain(CLBP) are still debatable. Objectives: To explore the effects of CST on muscle physiology in adults with CLBP. Methods: Eligible studies published in English from inception to October 2023 were extracted from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in this review. Pedro was used for scoring and followed the PRISMA guidelines. Findings: Core muscle strength (1 study), thickness (4 studies), and activation (6 studies) favored CST. Conclusion: CST was more effective in improving core muscle strength, and activation for patients with CLBP.
