“…This confirmed that the average difference in BG rather than SCG improved in dynamic balance and increased muscle activity (Table 1). These results are consistent with the results reported in a systematic review and meta-analysis that improvement in dynamic balance through core training had a moderate effect size (effect size＝0.634) [16]. Also, in muscle activity, a significant increase in trunk muscles was reported after core training [17].…”

Core training is a key element in conditioning and fitness programs for athletes and non-athletes [1,2]. Core training is important primarily for the purpose of performance improvement and injury prevention [3], because it provides stability around the trunk by providing a stable base for the distal extremity [4].The core muscles consist of the diaphragm, abdominal external oblique, abdominal internal oblique, transverse abdominis, and pelvic floor muscles [5]. The most representative and traditional static core exercises are crunches and planks, also called stabilization exercises [6,7]. In addition to static core training, dynamic core training is presented in various ways, and dead bug exercise (DBE) is an dynamic core training that is frequently prescribed as an alternative to crunch exercise [8]. Similarly, In physical therapy clinics, DBE is prescribed as an essential exercise for core stability and strength for patients with low back pain [9].Core training is a key component of conditioning and fitness programs for athletes and non-athletes [1,2]. Core training is important primarily for performance

“…Improved core stability may enhance performance by providing a robust base for generating greater force in the upper and lower body ( Tarnanen et al, 2012 ), thereby positively impacting dynamic balance. By improving dynamic balance, athletes can cultivate a more resilient and secure foundation that facilitates improved lower body movements ( Barrio et al, 2022 ). Similarly, only one study explored flexibility ( Zırhlı and Demirci, 2020 ).…”

Background: Tennis is among the world’s most popular and well-studied sports. Physical training has commonly been used as an intervention among athletes. However, a comprehensive review of the literature on the effects of physical training programs on female tennis players’ performance is lacking. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects of physical training on performance outcomes in female tennis players.Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on Web of Science, PubMed, SPORTDicus, Scopus, and CNKI from inception until July 2023 to select relevant articles from the accessible literature. Only controlled trials were included if they examined the effects of physical training on at least one measure of tennis-specific performance in female tennis players. The Cochrane RoB tool was employed to assess the risk of bias. The CERT scale was used to examine the quality of program information. The GRADE approach was adopted to evaluate the overall quality of the evidence. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was used for the meta-analysis.Results: Nine studies were selected for the systematic review and seven for the meta-analysis, totaling 222 individuals. The study’s exercise programs lasted 6–36 weeks, with training sessions ranging from 30 to 80 min, conducted one to five times per week. Muscle power (ES = 0.72; p = 0.003), muscle strength (ES = 0.65; p = 0.002), agility (ES = 0.69; p = 0.002), serve velocity (ES = 0.72; p = 0.013), and serve accuracy (ES = 1.14; p = 0.002) demonstrated significant improvement following physical training, while no notable changes in linear sprint speed (ES = 0.63; p = 0.07) were detected.Conclusion: Although research on physical training in sports is diversified, studies on training interventions among female tennis players are scarce. This review found that existing training programs yield some favorable outcomes for female tennis players. However, further research with high methodological quality is warranted on the tailoring of specific training programs for female tennis players. There should be more consistent measuring and reporting of data to facilitate meaningful data pooling for future meta-analyses.

“…Trunk exercises, such as those that challenge trunk stability (i.e., the capability to maintain or resume a relative position or trajectory of the trunk following internal or external forces 1 ) or trunk muscle endurance (i.e., the capability to exert trunk muscle force continuously over the long periods of time 2 ), have become common elements of training programs to improve whole‐body balance (i.e., the capability to maintain the center of mass within the body's base when performing a standing movement in order to perform multiple actions safely and accurately 3 ) in a wide range of populations, such as athletes, 4 sedentary people, 4 stroke patients, 5 and older adults 6 . In this sense, as the upper body is usually far from the ground and accounts for approximately two‐thirds of the total body weight, 7 trunk muscle function seems to play a relevant role in actions that require large dynamic balance demands so even small uncoordinated trunk movements may hamper body control 8 .…”

ObjectivesDetermine if (a) a better trunk stability and endurance are associated with an improved whole‐body dynamic balance, and if (b) the assessment tests can be interchanged within each capability.MethodsSixty‐three physically active young males performed three trunk stability (i.e., the lumbopelvic stability, the unstable sitting and the sudden loading sitting tests), three trunk muscle endurance (i.e., the Biering–Sørensen, the side bridge and the front bridge tests) and four whole‐body dynamic balance (i.e., the tandem and the single‐leg stance, the Y‐Balance, and the single‐leg triple hop tests) tests two times. After assessing the reliability of the variables, a Pearson correlation analysis was performed.ResultsThe correlations between trunk stability and endurance tests with dynamic balance tests were non‐significant except for the unstable sitting test with both the tandem (r = 0.502) and the single‐leg stance (r = 0.522) tests. Moreover, no relationships were observed between the trunk stability and the trunk muscle endurance tests. Interestingly, no relationships were found between most tests within each capability (i.e., trunk stability, trunk endurance, and dynamic balance) except: (i) the front bridge stability test and the back (r = 0.461) and the side (r = 0.499) bridge stability tests; (ii) the two side bridge endurance tests (r = 0.786); (iii) the tandem and the single‐leg stance tests (0.439 ≤ r ≤ 0.463); (iv) the Y‐Balance and the single‐leg triple hop tests (0.446 ≤ r ≤ 0.477).ConclusionBetter trunk function does not seem to be a relevant factor for dynamic balance in young active males. In this population, specific measures are needed as the test interchangeability is questioned.
