Strengthening the Abdominal Core on Balance in Basketball Players

Abstract

Introduction: Basketball has the characteristics of physical struggle. This demands from its training and teaching that the participants and coaches work on the qualities of strength, speed, and tactics of the sport. Objective: Study the impacts of abdominal core strengthening on balance and agility in basketball players. Methods: After a literature survey, we used basketball players as experimental volunteers, divided into experimental and control groups, to validate an experimental protocol to strengthen the abdominal core added to routine training. T-run tests and Z-run tests were also performed before and after training. The method of mathematical statistics was used to compare the results in the research-relevant data Results: After training, the two sensitivity test results in the young basketball players were significantly higher than the control group, with significant differences (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the two sensitive quality indices of the control group athletes before and after training (P>0.05). Conclusion: It was evidenced that abdominal core stability training plays a positive role in improving the balance and agility of young basketball players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
