“…Although it is evident the relationship between core control and single limb task control in prepubescent subjects (Hutchinson et al, 2016;Sasaki et al, 2019), only rarely and only recently the specific program effects have been investigated in youth basketball (Sannicandro & Cofano, 2017). The effects of only core stability exercises on jumping performance in young basketball players have recently been investigated.…”

The core is the center of the functional kinetic chain providing the proximal stability for the distal mobility and function of the limbs. The study aims to verify the effects of an integrative core stability training on jump and sprint performance in young basketball players. Young basketball players were involved in the study (n = 42, 16 female, 26 male) whose age, stature and weight were respectively (average ± ds) 8.22 ± 0.4 years, 118.2 ± 3.7 cm and 28.8 ± 4.9 kg and was randomly divided in Training Group (TG, n = 24, 10 F, 14 M) and Control Group (CG, n = 18, 6 F, 12 M). The training program was monitored for 4 weeks (8 sessions, twice a week and lasting 1 hour each during the usual sports activity; in addition to the usual technical and sport-specific exercises, the TG introduced only 4 core stability exercises in the warm-up). The results revealed a change in test scores across the two time periods for TG in the left limb Side hop (p < 0.026), in the right limb side hop (p < 0.001), in the left limb 6 meter timed hop (p < 0.0005), in the right limb 6 meter timed hop (p < 0.0005), in the vertical jump (p < 0.002), in the 10 meters sprint (p < 0.0005) and in the 10 × 5 meters test (p < 0.001). The CG highlighted differences statistically significant only in the 10 meters sprint (p < 0.05). The study confirms the need to hypothesize in youth sport supplementary sessions intended for strength training, as the literature has already suggested for several years.

“…The involvement of Swiss ball and balance pad in our 6-week CSTP was likely to produce positive effect not only in dynamic balance but also trunk endurance including back-extensor endurance. This suggests that the combination of balance and trunk stability exercise would increase the neuromuscular control of the lower extremities as mentioned [37]. These data indicated that 6-week CSTP had a positive impact on subjects' dynamic balance and back-extensor endurance.…”

“…Thus, the potential of improvement could be greater compared to experienced horse riders. Bagherian et al [34] highlighted that poor-quality mover in dynamic balance task may elicit greater improvement following trunk stability training, because improved trunk stability could enhance the neuromuscular control of the lower limb [37]. Second, biofeedback has been shown to be related to postural control especially when the exercise requires high motion variability, which presents higher trunk translation if visual feedback is eliminated [38].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week core stabilization training program (CSTP) in improving dynamic balance and back-extensor endurance of horse riders; and develop a measurement tool in assessing the dynamic postural stabilization endurance for horse riders. Twelve male horse riders (age: 23.58 ± 1.93 years; height: 165.09 ± 4.60 cm; weight: 56.53 ± 4.75 kg; experience in horse racing: 1.75 ± 0.34 years) completed 12 training sessions in 6 weeks. Subjects performed the CSTP with two progressions. CSTP started with the basic consciousness activation exercises, and then eliminated visual feedback in dynamic balance task on unstable surfaces and finished with switching the center of gravity. Moderate-to-large difference was demonstrated in the Y-Balance test scores for right leg (102.81 ± 8.32 vs 106.471 ± 4.35 cm, d = 0.55, 95% CL 0.00 to 1.08) and left leg (102.04 ± 3.20 vs 106.29 ± 3.62 cm, d = 1.25, 95% CL 0.41 to 2.05) following 6 weeks CSTP. However, trivial to small differences was reported between left and right leg in pre (d = 0.12, 95% CL − 0.49 to 0.73) and post 6-week CSTP (d = 0.04, 95% CL − 0.69 to 0.78). Biering–Sørensen test (BST) shows largely greater performance after 6-week CSTP (98.3 ± 30.1 vs 131.8 ± 19.0 s, d = 1.33, 95% CL 0.54–2.09). A novel measurement, Swiss ball four-point kneeling test was shown to be correlated with the change in BST (r = 0.633).

“…However, a high hamstring extensibility allows reaching maximal trunk flexion (López-Miñarro, Muyor & Alacid, 2014), which explains the high incidence of pain in the musculoskeletal system of the lower back and knee injuries in dancers (Lampe et al, 2019). It can thus be suggested that, although multi-component prevention programs are the most effective interventions for reducing sport-related injuries (Lauersen, Bertelsen & Andersen, 2014), core strength and stability training as a single factor has demonstrated to improve biomechanics and neuromuscular control, and stability of the lower limbs, reducing on its own the risk of injury in the lower back and lower limbs (De Blaiser et al, 2018;Dello Iacono, Padulo & Ayalon, 2016;Sasaki et al, 2019;Swain & Redding, 2014). In fact, core training program improves core muscles, balance and dance performance in dancers (Watson et al, 2017).…”

Background Hamstrings have been analyzed extensively due to their tendency to shorten and their effect in the lumbo-pelvic dynamics and the sagittal position of the spine in trunk flexion with extended knees positions. It has been demonstrated that practicing a certain sport results in long-term changes in hamstring extensibility. Despite this, adequate extensibility of the hamstring musculature is essential for the dancer’s performance. Several studies have found differences in the extensibility of the hamstrings depending on the dance style, but none have compared ballet, Spanish dance and modern dance. The purpose of the present research was to analyze the differences in hamstring extensibility among professional dance students based on dance style practiced and non-dancers. Methods The sample was comprised of 210 students from the Professional Dance Conservatory (70 for ballet, 70 for Spanish dance and 70 for modern dance) and 70 non-dancers. For the assessment of hamstring extensibility, the angle in the passive and active straight leg raise (PSLR and ASLR, respectively) test, and the scores of the pelvic tilt in sit-and-reach (SR) test and the toe-touch (TT) test were randomly conducted. Results The results showed significant differences for all the tests according to group (p < 0.001). In the PSLR and ASLR test, for both legs, and in the pelvic tilt in the SR test, the ballet dancers showed greater ranges of hamstring extensibility than the modern dancers and Spanish dancers (p ≤ 0.001). In the distance in the SR test and in the pelvic tilt in the TT test, the ballet dancers obtained higher values than the Spanish dancers (p = 0.004 and p = 0.003, respectively). The modern dancers showed higher ranges of hip flexion than the Spanish dancers in the ASLR test for both legs and in the pelvic tilt in the SR test (p from 0.007 to <0.001). Dancers showed significantly higher hamstring extensibility than non-dancers in all the tests (p < 0.001). Conclusions The systematic practice of dance, regardless of the style, seems to lead to high ranges of hamstring extensibility. Ballet dancers have the greatest hamstring extensibility.
