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. 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.
