Scientific Investigation of a Training Model on Athlete’s Core Strength

Abstract

Introduction The muscular structure that makes up the core is responsible for the central stabilization of the human body and controlling the movement of the body’s center of gravity. Core training is indispensable for improving physical performance in competitive sports. Objective To analyze the concepts, methods, and results of core strengthening in athletes. Methods Controlled research among several athletes for three months. The experimental group was approached with a training model for core strengthening of 30 minutes four times a week. The relationship between core strength and traditional strength training was confronted with the literature, logical analysis, and comparative analysis methods. Results After the core strength training, the athletes’ sports quality was improved, especially the abdominal strength and the strength of the dorsal muscle groups. The stability of deep core muscles, motor coordination, and core balance capacity was improved (P<0.05). Conclusion The presented model for strengthening running in athletes showed a high value of applicability and dissemination. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.
