Investigation of Effects Four-Week Core Training Program on Some Physical Parameters

Introduction: The concept of CORE emerged in mechanical-neurological studies of rehabilitation in the 80s, referring to the central muscles of the human trunk, including the lumbar-pelvis-abdominal-perineal-hip complex responsible for the body orthostatic stability and support. Strengthening the CORE has received increasing attention from sports medicine specialists after the 2000s, and strength training is the subject of recent research in competitive sports. However, there is still a lack of conceptual studies of protocols for training focused on soccer athletes. Objective: Verify a CORE strength training protocol based on the analysis of the CORE training concept, its main functions, and introductory practical examples. Methods: Literature data collection, experimental and statistical-mathematical methods, and theoretical analysis about CORE training focused on explosive strength performance in soccer players are used. The developed protocol experiments with 44 athletes, divided into experimental and control groups, by sex. Information is collected on goal shooting, 30-meter pass, balance, stability, and symmetry. Results: The group experienced better results in both sexes(P<0.05). Conclusion: The explosion strength indicators of the players were significantly improved. Whether male or female athletes, the higher the skill level, the stronger the CORE stability in players. Therefore, the CORE stability and strengthening in athletes promote a benefit in the technical level of soccer players. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.

Introduction Core strength training is a modern method of approach that matches the current demand for a more resilient physique on young players. Although it was initially conceived as complementary training to contribute to strength and agility, other benefits have been observed for soccer athletes nowadays. Among the under-explored benefits is the effect on the athletes’ stability. Objective This article explores core training results on stability in young soccer players. Methods The theoretical applicability of basic stability training for young soccer players with core muscle strength training is discussed using mathematical statistics. The theoretical result is confronted with the practice of the controlled experiment on 18 young soccer players in 32 weeks with stabilization protocols. Results The fitness and soccer skills of the young men improved significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Core strength training can promote the overall fitness of young soccer players. This training protocol for core strengthening achieves the primary goal of improving athletes’ competitive ability and fitness. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.

Introduction: Soccer players are athletes who need to develop advanced characteristics of strength and speed. The resistance training of the muscles involved in the core is a new training theory applicable to modern sports that is gaining prominence due to its amazing results. It is of great value for researchers to integrate the strengths of core strengthening into soccer training, improve their protocols, and compensate for their limitations. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between core strength training and physical conditioning in soccer players. At the same time, this article discusses the influence of core muscle strength characteristics on athletes’ physical performance. Methods: This article selects advanced soccer players as research subjects. Volunteers were randomly divided into two groups (control and experimental groups). The experimental group received core muscle strength training, while the control group received daily training. This paper analyzed the muscle strength characteristics of the two groups of volunteers. Then, this paper conducts a statistical and mathematical analysis of the muscle strength level data in two groups of athletes. Results: The experimental group showed significant differences in bilateral hip and ankle joint flexors after core muscle strength training (P<0.01). The relative peak moment of flexion and extension of the left hip was lower than that of the right hip, a factor justified by the predominant motor laterality principle on the players. The muscle strength of the left knee and ankle joints was greater than that of the right. Both experimental and control groups showed that the strength of the ankle flexors was better than the ankle extensors (knee toe flexors). The data were very significantly different (P<0.01). Conclusion: Muscular endurance training can help improve the physical conditioning of soccer players. Athletes can reinforce core strength training in their daily training.
