Stronger Abs & Back by Brittenham & Brittenham.
 

The above book is now available from the Oztrack Athletic bookstore.
The program recommends a large variety of trunk exercises performed perfectly. Athletes should aim in their programs for a good mix of core stability exercises possibly with a swiss ball and to progress from Ab/back conditioning exercises to strength exercises (as their condition improves) and then possibly for some athletes to Ab/back power exercises.  The days of considering 3 sets of 50 situps as good ab work are gone.
I consider this a key area in helping an athlete to prevent trunk related injuries eg Hamstring tears. a stable trunk should also provide better balance and relaxation at high speeds.
