“…Only four studies have investigated the effect of core training on throwing velocity in handball, reporting conflicting results. In senior amateur women [13] and junior men [14], six weeks of dynamic and static strength training did not increase throwing velocity in the standing throw with and without run-up and the jump throw compared to a control group. Contrastingly, in junior women, six weeks of sling-based training significantly increased velocity in the standing throw without run-up by 4.9% compared to a control group [15].…”

BACKGROUND: The relationship between strength and throwing velocity is much investigated in handball, but core strength is largely ignored. Only four studies have investigated the effect of core training on handball throwing velocity, reporting conflicting results in amateur players. However, lack of specificity and deficient technical execution of throwing in amateurs can obscure the results. OBJECTIVE: To examine the direct association between trunk flexion strength and throwing velocity in elite handball players, using women as a model. METHODS: Sixteen women players from an elite-level Norwegian handball team participated in the study. Strength in trunk flexion, shoulder extension, internal shoulder rotation, and forearm pronation was assessed using isokinetic dynamometer measurements (peak moment, total work, angular impulse). Throwing velocity in both the standing throw with run-up and the jump throw was determined from motion capture measurements. To account for arm strength, the association between trunk flexion strength and throwing velocity was examined using partial correlation analyses. RESULTS: No significant association was found between any measure of trunk flexion strength and throwing velocity for either throwing technique (explained variance ⩽ 13.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that isolated, dynamic trunk flexion strength is not a differentiating factor for handball throwing velocity in elite women players.

“…Some of the recommended criteria to increase the sports specificity of the training load of the CS programs are based on the fact that the exercises are performed while standing up [ 1 , 7 ], involving three planes of motion [ 1 , 2 , 24 , 27 , 28 ]: reproducing specific movement patterns [ 1 , 2 , 28 ]; performing exercises at maximum movement speed [ 2 , 11 , 12 , 24 ] which is composed of an anti-rotational component [ 2 , 13 , 24 ] and which is predominantly unilateral [ 5 , 29 , 30 ]; and adding external resistance [ 2 ]. Although there are some studies that have been analyzed the effects of CS programs [ 31 , 32 ], the authors of the present study have not found any research that has analyzed the effects of a sports-specific CS program applying the cited recommended criteria, and it is reported as a limitation of some previous studies [ 14 , 24 , 28 , 33 ].…”

“…Training task of the SCS group. For the creation of tasks in the SCS group, the 7 methodological criteria characteristic of the specificity of soccer in the performance stage were taken into account [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 7 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 18 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 33 , 44 , 48 ] and the reproduction of a specific sport action every 5 s [ 35 ]. The tasks, their progression toward multiplanar and dynamic stabilization actions, and the progression criteria can be observed in Table 1 , Table 2 , Table 3 , Table 4 and Table 5 .…”

Although it is recommended to use sport-specific training programs to optimize performance, studies analyzing the effects of the core stability training with high levels of sport-specificity on athletic performance are insufficient and unclear. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of the level of specificity of a CORE stability program on specific soccer actions. Fourteen youth players were randomly assigned to the specific core stability group (SCS; n = 7) or the general core stability group (GCS; n = 7). The eight-week intervention consisted of two weekly training sessions added to the usual soccer training. Both groups performed four CORE stability tasks. The SCS group followed the principle of sports specificity, while the GCS group performed CORE stability commons. Ten-meter linear sprinting (Sprint) and change-of-direction maneuverability (V-cut) were evaluated before and after the intervention programs. A statistically significant improvement was obtained in Sprint (d = 0.84 95% CI (0.22, 1.45), p = 0.008) and V-cut (d = 1.24 95% CI (0.52, 1.93), p < 0.001). At posttest, statistically nonsignificant differences were obtained between groups in Sprint (d = 1.03 95% CI (−0.25, 2.30), p = 0.082) and V-cut (d = −0.56 95% CI (−1.89, 0.78), p = 0.370). In conclusion, sprint and change-of-direction maneuverability were improved, but there was no superiority of any type of training.

“…2018 yılında yayınlanan ve 20 kadın hentbol oyuncusu üzerinde yapılan bir çalışmada; oyuncular randomize olarak iki gruba ayrılmışlar ve deney grubuna, hentbol antrenmanına ek olarak 6 haftalık core stabilizasyon egzersizi programı uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, her iki grubun da top fırlatma hızları artmış fakat deney grubuyla kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır 22 . Bizim çalışmamızla kıyasladığımızda, her iki grubun da top fırlatma hızlarının artmış olması, çalışmamızın sonucu ile uyuşmamakla birlikte; deney grubunun top fırlatma hızının artmış olması çalışmamızın sonucu ile benzerlik göstermektedir.…”

Bu çalışma, adölesan voleybol oyuncularında düzenli core stabilizasyon egzersizlerinin smaç hızına etkisinin araştırılması amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.Yöntem: Çalışmaya 15-18 yaş aralığında, aynı spor kulübünde profesyonel voleybol oynayan toplam 60 sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. 30 sporcudan oluşan deney grubunun smaç hızı radar tabanca ile ölçüldükten sonra sporcular core stabilizasyon egzersizi programına alınarak 6 haftalık çalışma sonunda smaç hızları tekrar ölçülmüştür. Yine 30 sporcudan oluşan kontrol grubunun ise smaç hızı ilk kez ölçüldükten sonra herhangi bir planlama yapılmaksızın 6 hafta sonra ikinci kez tekrar ölçülmüştür.Bulgular: Altı haftalık düzenli core stabilizasyon egzersizleri yapan deney grubunun ortalama smaç hızının 58,66±10,58 m/s'den 69,50±9,66 m/s'ye (p<0,001) yükselmiş olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, çalışma başında deney ve control grupları arasında ortalama smaç hızı açısından anlamlı fark bulunmazken (p=0,53), çalışma sonunda yapılan ölçümlerde deney grubunda ölçülen değerlerin (69,50±9,66 m/s) kontrol grubundan (64,10±9,57 m/s) anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu (p=0,034) görülmüştür.Sonuç: Altı haftalık core stabilizasyon egzersizi programı, adölesan voleybolcularda smaç hızını arttırabilmektedir.
