Abdominal Core Muscle Strength Training in Badminton Players

Abstract

Introduction: Badminton is a sport of intense confrontation and variable transitions between attack and defense, where the athlete maintains an extreme body dynamic. Objective: Study the effects of abdominal core muscle strength training on badminton players. Methods: A screening method was used by randomly selecting 20 male badminton players. The effects of abdominal core muscle strength training and the athletes' specific skills were evaluated by a protocol after 10 weeks of strength training. Results: The results of the two groups were significantly different by t-test, p<0.05. Both improved in all indicators. The experimental group showed higher scores in 6 indicators than the control group, with p<0.01 having a highly significant difference. Conclusion: Abdominal core muscle strength training can effectively improve body stability, optimize the technical movements of badminton players, and play a positive role in body stability. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
