Core Training

Kickboks spor dalı hem tatemi üzerinde hem de ring üzerinde icra edilen oyun kuralları ve enerji metabolizması açısından zorluklar içeren bir spor branşıdır. Bu bağlamda sporcuların rakiplerine üstünlük sağlama- sı açısından yüksek performans sergilemeleri gerekmektedir. Core bölge- si özellikle alt ve üst ekstremite’nin eşit ve dengeli olarak kullanılması gereken aktivitelerde sporcuların performansları üzerinde önemli etkileri olduğu bilinmektedir.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation and compare core stability and athletic performance between 14-16 years elite male sprinters and basketball players. 16 elite male sprinters (age 14,18 ± 0,94 years, height 166,50 ± 8,32 cm) and 19 male basketball players (age 15,37 ± 0,64 years, height 176.71 ± 8,08 cm) participated in this study. Assessment of core stability scores were measured by the Sport Specific Core Muscle Strength and Stability Plank Test which was developed by Mackenzie (2005). Athletic performance scores were measured by 30m sprint test, pro agility test, standing long jump test, 60sec maximum sit-up test, sit and reach test and right-left handgrip strength test. Mann- Whitney U test was used to compare the core stability and athletic performance. Spearman's rho test was used to determine relationship between core stability and athletic performance. No significant correlation was identified between core stability and athletic performance in sprinters (p>0,05). However, in basketball players negative weak correlation (r=-0,477, p=0,039) was observed in 30m sprint test. When analyzing group together (N=35) positive weak and moderate correlation was observed between core stability and standing long jump test (r=0,463, p=0,005), 60sec maximum sit-up test (r=0,360, p=0,034), sit and reach test (r=0,544, p=0,001). Significant difference was identified in core stability (Z=-2,644, p=0,008), pro agility test (Z=-2,551, p=0,011), standing long jump test (Z=-2,253, p=0,024), 60sec maximum sit-up test (Z=-2,458, p=0,014), sit and reach test (Z=-3,780, p=0,000) and right-left handgrip strength test (Z=-1,970, p=0,049). However, there was no found significant difference in 30m sprint test (Z=-0,613, p=0,540).

Hirata Kurakichi 平田内蔵吉 nacque in Giappone nel 1901 ad Akō, città della prefettura di Hyōgo (il cui capoluogo è Kōbe) ed è stato l'autore di numerosi libri di filosofia, educazione fisica nazionale e militare, medicina orientale; da molti considerato un innovatore della medicina tradizionale.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between postural stability, core muscle endurance and agility in basketball players. Materials and Methods: 21 professional male basketball players [age: 17.±0.63 (years), body weight: 78.69±9.22 (kg), height: 186±7 (cm), BMI: 22.72±2.26 (kg/cm²)] were included to this study. Three balance variables were measured using Biodex Biosway™. Core muscle endurance was measured using three core endurance tests proposed by Mcgill. Agility was assessed by Hexagonal Obstacle Test (HOT). Results: The analysis results showed that postural stability is associated with HOT (r: 0.457). In addition, the postural stability was related to extension muscle endurance test and side bridge test (respectively, r:-0.501 and r:-0.468). There is no correlation between HOT and core muscle endurance test in basketball players. Conclusion: The athletes with good postural stability were better core muscle endurance and agility. It is important to apply exercise programs that enhance postural stability and increase core muscle endurance to improve sportive success.
