This study aims to determine the effects of core training given to female soccer players on their methods of different vertical jumping. 16 female certified soccer players playing in the female soccer team of Bartın University with average age of 21.07±3.56 years, average height of 163.00±7.18 cm and with weight of 56.60±7.15 kg were included in the study on the basis of volunteering. Prior to the tests, all the female soccer players completed a survey form used in determining their medical status and filled in a form to confirm that they participated in the study voluntarily. The core training programme was applied for 8 weeks two times a week regularly. The pre-test and post-test measurements were made and then  subjects’ height and weight were measured,   they were asked to run for 10 minutes for warm-up and  the activity was ended by making jumping measurement. The research was performed in the physiology laboratory of Bartın University School of Physical Education and Sport (BESYO). Statistical evaluation was made by using SPSS 22.0 programme. The values obtained were compared after checking normality distribution through Shapiro-Wilk test with the help of Wilcoxon signed rank test.  This study, we aimed to determine the effect of core strength training on different vertical jump methods applied to female soccer players. It has been observed that it has a favorable effect on counter movement jumping (CMJ) and static jumping (SJ) values (p <0.05). It was found that there was no statistically significant effect on drop jumping (DJ) values (p> 0.05). As a result; It can be said that the core strength training practiced in female soccer players developed counter movement jumpingand static jumping characteristic of vertical jumping methods and did not affect the drop jumpingfeature. In line with these results, it is recommended to take into account the core training programs because the strength training that will be applied in female soccer players can improve the counter movement jumping and static jumping feature.

Çalışmaya Bartın Üniversitesi Kadın Futbol Takımında lisanslı, yaş ortalamaları 21,07±3,56 yıl, boy ortalamaları 163,00±7,18 (cm) ve vücut ağırlıkları 56,60±7,15 (kg) olan gönüllü 16 kadın futbolcu dahil edilmiştir. Testlerden önce araştırmaya katılan kadın futbolcular sağlık durumlarını belirtir sağlık anketini ve gönüllü katılım formunu doldurup imzalamışlardır. Kor antrenman programı 8 hafta boyunca, haftada 2 gün düzenli olarak uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan kadın futbolculara sırasıyla; boy ve vücut ağırlığı ölçümü yapıldı. 10 dakika ısınma koşusu yaptırıldıktan sonra, sıçrama ölçümleri yapılarak çalışma sonlandırıldı. Bu araştırma Bartın Üniversitesi BESYO Fizyoloji Laboratuvarında yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirme SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılarak yapıldı. Ön test ve son testten elde edilen değerler,  Shapiro-Wilk testi ile normallik dağılımına bakıldıktan sonra Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar testi yardımı ile istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmamızın bulgularına göre; kadın futbolculara uygulanan kor kuvvet antrenmanlarının farklı dikey sıçrama yöntemlerine etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapmış olduğumuz çalışmamızda uygulanan kor kuvvet antrenmanlarının dikey sıçrama yöntemlerinden; yaylanarak sıçrama (YS) ve statik sıçrama (SS) değerlerine olumlu düzeyde etki ettiği gözlemlenmiştir (p<0.05). Düşerek sıçrama (DS) değerlerine ise istatistiksel olarak etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak; kadın futbolcularda uygulanan kor kuvvet antrenmanlarının dikey sıçrama yöntemlerinden statik sıçrama ve yaylanarak sıçrama özelliğini geliştirdiği, düşerek sıçrama özelliğine ise etki etmediği söylenebilir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda kadın futbolcularda uygulanacak kor kuvvet antrenmanlarının statik sıçrama ve yaylanarak sıçrama özelliğine olumlu yönde etkisi olabileceğinden antrenman programlarında göz önünde bulundurulması önerilebilir.

<p class="apa">The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of core training program on speed, acceleration, vertical jump, and standing long jump in female soccer players. A total of 40 female soccer players volunteered to participate in this study. They were divided randomly into 1 of 2 groups: core training group (CTG; n = 20) and control group (CG; n = 20). The mean (SD) age was 19.05 ± 1.15 years, height was 160.60 ± 4.22 cm, weight was 56.45 ± 3.33 kg, and sport age was 4.50 ± 1.24 for the core training group; the mean (SD) age was 18.55 ± 0.76 years, height was 159.10 ± 3.86 cm, weight was 52.20 ± 3.60 kg, and sport age was 3.35 ± 0.75 years for the control group. Following randomization, the 2 groups did not differ significantly (p&gt;0.05) in any of the dependent variables. The subjects in the control group did not participate in the training and participated only in the pre- and posttest measurements. To evaluate the effect of core training over the functional performance, we applied a testing procedure that included measurements of speed, acceleration, vertical jump, and standing long jump. The core training group showed a 3.4%, 5.9%, 13.3%, 4.2% improvement in speed, acceleration, vertical jump, and standing long jump (respectively) (P&lt;0.05), whereas the control group did not change (P&gt;0.05). In conclusion, Core exercises were improved speed, acceleration, vertical jump, and standing long jump in 18-19 years-old female soccer players. Therefore, it is believed core training is necessary for optimal sport performance and should not be dismissed for all sport branches.</p>

The core is at the center of most sports movements. What the core musculature is, how it is evaluated, how it is trained, and how it is applied to functional performance can sometimes be confusing to coaches. The benefits of a sound, research-based core training program is essential to all sport; therefore it must be included in coach’s education. The core musculature is separated into two systems: local (stabilization) and global (movement). Exercises can be separated into three categories: core-stability, core-strength, and functional exercises. A multifaceted approach that addresses the three planes of movement combining medicine-ball work, body-weight circuits, controlled movements, abdominal exercises, dumbbell complexes, and Olympic lifts can provide physiological and biomechanical advantages that enhance preparation for most every sport.

Aerobics is a beautiful and rhythmic sport. In recent years, aerobics has developed rapidly, and has become one of the essential courses of physical education in Colleges and universities. But the existing aerobics courses in Colleges and universities are less involved in the training process of action strength. Lack of strength quality is a common shortcoming of Aerobics Athletes in Colleges and universities. Therefore, this paper puts forward the methods and means of action strength training in aerobics training. According to the characteristics of competitive aerobics, combined with the traditional training strategy of action strength, this paper formulates the method of action strength training suitable for College Aerobics athletes. In order to further verify the effectiveness of this method, this paper takes a university aerobics team as an experimental sample to carry out a comparative analysis of the effect of action strength training. Relevant studies have proved that core strength training has the following effects on aerobics players: 1. Helps the calisthenics team member stabilize the trunk, improve the body's control ability and balance ability. 2. It is conducive to completing difficult movements of calisthenics with high efficiency and low energy consumption. 3. Helps the aerobics team member to enhance the special strength. 4. It can effectively prevent sports injuries. 5. It can improve the direction change and displacement speed of the body. 6. It can improve the energy output of the core strength to the limbs and other muscle groups during movement, so that the movement can be completed more perfectly.According to the results of the experiment, the explosive force and endurance of the experimental group after 8 weeks of training have been significantly improved, and formed a more obvious difference with the control group. The aerobics training method developed in this paper can be divided into two stages: the initial stage and the middle stage, which can better meet the students with different physical qualities. At the end of this paper, a fast strength training method is introduced, and the characteristics of different training methods are analyzed.

Purpose:To quantify the effects of a 12-wk isolated core-training program on 50-m front-crawl swim time and measures of core musculature functionally relevant to swimming.Methods:Twenty national-level junior swimmers (10 male and 10 female, 16 ± 1 y, 171 ± 5 cm, 63 ± 4 kg) participated in the study. Group allocation (intervention [n = 10], control [n = 10]) was based on 2 preexisting swim-training groups who were part of the same swimming club but trained in different groups. The intervention group completed the core training, incorporating exercises targeting the lumbopelvic complex and upper region extending to the scapula, 3 times/wk for 12 wk. While the training was performed in addition to the normal pool-based swimming program, the control group maintained their usual pool-based swimming program. The authors made probabilistic magnitude-based inferences about the effect of the core training on 50-m swim time and functionally relevant measures of core function.Results:Compared with the control group, the core-training intervention group had a possibly large beneficial effect on 50-m swim time (–2.0%; 90% confidence interval –3.8 to –0.2%). Moreover, it showed small to moderate improvements on a timed prone-bridge test (9.0%; 2.1–16.4%) and asymmetric straight-arm pull-down test (23.1%; 13.7–33.4%), and there were moderate to large increases in peak EMG activity of core musculature during isolated tests of maximal voluntary contraction.Conclusion:This is the first study to demonstrate a clear beneficial effect of isolated core training on 50-m front-crawl swim performance.

Women in postmenopausal period of their life face various physical and physiological changes causing lack of estrogen and progesterone hormones, changes in the reproductive and genitals organs, vasomotor system in the body along with mood related symptoms such as anxiety, etc. Lifestyle, body fat distribution and anthropometric changes adds on to the bone strength in postmenopausal women. It may be a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture, cardiovascular, metabolic diseases, etc. Core strength and stability is greatly influenced by body composition and adiposity. The aim of the study was to correlate the core strength assessed with the Body Mass Index (BMI) among postmenopausal women. The objective of the study is to find the correlation between the core strength assessed with the Body Mass Index using 60° flexion test, Beiring Sorenson test and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance test among postmenopausal women with age ranging from 46-70 years. 96 healthy postmenopausal women in Karad city with a natural history of menopause were selected for the study. Based upon BMI values, the subjects were grouped as Underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), Normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), Overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2 and more). The outcome values for strength were correlated with the BMI of postmenopausal women. In the study, the Pearson correlation(r) was -0.361 and the P value was 0.0003 showing extremely significant correlation between the BMI and 60° Flexion test. For the Beiring Sorenson Test, the Pearson correlation value was -0.305 and the P value was 0.0025 showing very significant correlation between the BMI and Beiring Sorenson Test. Correlation of BMI and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test shows a Pearson Correlation value of -0.322 and the P value 0.0013 claiming very significant correlation between the BMI and Unilateral Hip Bridge Endurance Test. The study concludes that there is a significantly negative correlation between the core strength and stability with the Body Mass Index among postmenopausal women.
