“…Higher levels of core stability allow athletes to perform quick, coordinated movements, which enhances their athletic performance. A positive relationship between core stability and athletic performance is being documented in sports such as soccer [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], hockey [ 6 ], tennis [ 7 ], badminton [ 8 ], basketball [ 9 ] and lacrosse [ 10 ]. Core training has, thus, become a key component of any athletic training program for enhancing the performance of athletes and preventing injuries.…”

“…Chaudhari, et al [ 12 ] reported a strong positive correlation between core stability and pitching performance in professional baseball pitchers. A recent study reported a fair, positive correlation between core stability and medicine ball throw test (MBTT) performance in badminton players [ 8 ]. Another study reported a weak to moderate correlation between core stability measures and the backward overhead MBTT score [ 13 ].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of core stability, as measured by the McGill and double-leg lowering (DLL) test, with upper-extremity performance, as measured by the upper-quarter Y-balance test (UQYBT), medicine ball throw test (MBTT) and functional throwing performance index (FTPI) test, in collegiate athletes. Materials and Methods: A sample of 61 collegiate athletes from Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University participated in the study. Their core stability was assessed through their McGill and DLL test scores. Their upper-extremity performance was assessed through their UQYBT, MBTT and FTPI test scores. Results: The McGill test score had a significant strong positive correlation with the MBTT score (p = 0.02, r = 0.67) and a significant moderate positive correlation with the UQYBT score (p = 0.01, r = 0.46). There was no significant correlation between the McGill and FTPI test scores (p ≥ 0.05). The DLL test score was positively correlated with the MBTT score (p = 0.02, r = 0.25) but had no significant correlation with the other sports performance variables (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: The study results suggest that core stability measures are positively correlated with most of the upper-extremity athletic-performance measures in collegiate athletes. The MBTT score was found to be the most significantly correlated with the scores in both core stability tests among all the upper-extremity athletic-performance tests in this study. However, due to the nature of this study, a cause–effect relationship cannot be established on the basis of the study’s findings, and the study results should be interpreted with caution.

“…One-to-one training of individual trainers is also included in core exercises (Handzel, 2003). Strength and endurance training for the core area can improve trunk stability by activating force transmission to the lower and upper extremities (Ahmed et al, 2021). Core training is described as the work of stabilizing muscle groups that maintain a balanced position of the body (Rosania, 2004).…”

In recent years, epidemics and developments in the field of virtual communication have left people with an inactive lifestyle. For this reason, exercises that include all kinds of physical activity, endurance, and strength training have an important role in the lives of people of different ages. The study aimed to find out the effects of the step aerobic exercise and static core training programs on body composition in sedentary females. Totally 30 sedentary volunteer females (Age: 37.03 ± 4.28 years, height: 1.62 ± .07 m, and body weight: 70.48 ± 18.21 kg) were separated into 3 groups randomly: 1) Step-aerobic exercise group (n=10), 2), Step-aerobic + Core training group (n=10), 3) Control group (n=10). Participants in the Step-aerobic exercise group and the Step-aerobic + Core training group performed one of the exercise programs in a gym for 10 weeks. The circumference and body composition measurements were taken before and after the 10-week period. As a result of the study, a significant decrease was observed in the subjects' body weights (Z=-2.803; p=.005) and body fat percentages (p=.000). Statistical significance was observed in body water level (Z=-1.988; p=.047) and muscle amount (Z=-2.809; p=.005) in static core groups.In the study, it was determined that visceral fat ratios decreased statistically in the step-aerobic (Z=-2.121; p=.034) and static core groups (Z=-2.384; p=.017). In both groups, there was a significant decrease in the circumference of both the upper right and left arm and the right and left upper calf (p<0.05). The results of the study suggest that the step-aerobic exercises and core training together enhance body composition and circumference in sedentary female individuals. Future studies might focus on the effect of step-aerobic and core training with exercises of varying intensity and number.

“…In some sports, improving trunk strength and endurance can increase the ability to generate and maintain strength [ 15 ]. Demand for athletic performance responses by the muscles of the whole body and core acts as a bridge between the upper and lower extremities and provides a stable base to transfer force to the extremities [ 16 ]. Strength and endurance training of the core musculature could increase trunk stability in gymnasts, facilitating the transmission of forces generated between the upper and lower limbs [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Strength and endurance training of the core musculature could increase trunk stability in gymnasts, facilitating the transmission of forces generated between the upper and lower limbs [ 16 , 17 ]. Furthermore, it has been shown that the improvement in trunk strength is positively related to the extensor strength of this musculature, allowing gymnasts to achieve greater technical performance in all their back trunk extension movements [ 18 ].…”

Background: Rhythmic gymnastics performance is characterized by technical elements involving flexibility, aerobic capacity and strength. Increased core strength in rhythmic gymnastics could lead to improved sporting performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of 12 weeks of core muscle training on core muscle performance in rhythmic gymnasts. Methods: A randomized controlled study involving 24 rhythmic gymnastics was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group (CG; n = 12; age 13.50 ± 3.17 years) or a training group (TG; n = 12; age 14.41 ± 2.35 years). Body composition, isometric strength of trunk, core endurance and core muscle electromyographic activity were measured (EMG) after 12 weeks of core training. Independent sample t-tests were carried out to compare baseline values between groups. A two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) (time × group) was applied. Results: The TG improved body composition, trunk lean mass (mean differences MD = −0.31; p = 0.040), lean mass (MD = 0.43; p = 0.037) and bone mass (MD = −0.06; p < 0.001) after training. Core training increased isometric strength of trunk, flexion test (MD = −21.53; p = 0.019) and extension test (MD = 22.7; p = 0.049), as well as the prone bridge core endurance test (MD = −11.27; p = 0.040). The EMG values also increased in the TG in prone bridge for front trunk (MD = −58.58; p = 0.026). Conclusions: Core strength training leads to improvements in body composition, as well as improvements in trunk strength and increases in muscle electromyographic activity. These improvements could therefore improve performance during competitive rhythmic gymnastics exercises.
