What muscles do toe tap work?
by
You rely on the strong muscles in your glutes, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, calves, and core to properly perform a standing toe tap. Depending on the desired intensity, you can also pump your arms while tapping, which forces your upper body to work and increases the requirements of your core muscles.
The toe touch exercise fully engages the abdominal wall and helps to tone your abs, trims down your waist, and strengthens your core. This exercise also helps to improve your posture, flexibility, and balance.

How is the toe tap test performed?
The FTT was conducted on both sides separately, and the subject, while being seated on a chair, moved his/her toes up and down repeatedly to tap the floor as fast and as vigorously as possible for 10 sec with his/her heels planted on the floor.
Aim to perform toe taps for 30 to 60 seconds without stopping. If you can’t do them for this long when first starting out, begin with 10-second sessions and increase the time in 5-second increments as you gain more strength and endurance.
