Abstract: SummaryStudy aim: To investigate the correlation between anthropometric parameters, Sargent jump test, core muscles endurance and agility performance versus specific tests with and without a ball in female Brazilian field hockey athletes. Material and methods: Nine professional female field hockey players (age: 27.4 ± 2.5 years) participated in this study. Body height, body weight, body fat percentage, Sargent jump test (SJT), shuttle run agility test (SR), core muscular endurance tests and sport-specific test… Show more

“…The exercises selected for the intervention that mainly focused on the core could influence changes in pushing speed. This agrees with previous studies which refer to the posture adopted by field hockey players, which is more inclined than other sports disciplines, due to the trunk flexion acquired in the game (Lemos et al, 2017). This characteristic (posture) likely influenced the results of physical performance, a fact that agrees with those indicated by Lemos et al, who stated that there must be a high level of core training, especially to avoid vertebral injuries, due to the overload of the lumbar area.…”
