    Background: The transversus abdominis is a deep muscle, fundamental for trunk stability and the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries in physical activities such as recreational running. It represents one of the most practiced physical activities among adults, with regular participation from 13% of the general population; however, in the city of Cuenca, there are no studies analyzing the behavior of the transversus abdominis in this population. Objective: To determine the activity of the transversus abdominis muscle using the Sahrmann core stability test and the Chattanooga Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback in recreational runners in the city of Cuenca. Methodology: A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with a population of 72 recreational runners belonging to the “Ron Club.” A data collection form was used to gather the information, which was recorded in Microsoft Excel version 2019 and processed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Results: 87.7% achieved pressure values between 50 and 60 mmHg at the end of the test. This finding indicates a loss of pressure during the execution of the Sahrmann Central Stability Test maneuvers. Furthermore, 69.2% of the participants exhibited poor stabilization capacity, while 30.8% achieved a classification considered good. Conclusion: Recreational runners presented a TrA activation level equal to or less than 2 in the Sahrmann Central Stability Test, indicating inadequate activation during motor control.
