ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Gymnastics requires high-level body coordination and control. The key to success for gymnasts is to control and adjust the center of gravity through the abdominal core muscles. Abdominal core resistance training is mainly aimed at fulfilling this purpose.
Objective:
Analyze the results of abdominal core resistance training on the fitness of gymnasts.
Methods:
20 volunteer gymnasts were selected by random sampling. The experimental participants were tested for functional exercise capacity. The study focused on the athletes' weaknesses during exercise. After completing the abdominal core resistance training, the fitness test was performed. The data obtained were analyzed statistically.
Results:
The peaks of the flexor and dorsal muscles were significantly enhanced (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups before and after training of body flexors and extensors (P>0.05).
Conclusion:
Abdominal core resistance training plays a positive role in improving the fitness of gymnasts. Coaches can actively introduce abdominal core resistance training into their regular exercises to improve athletes' fitness.
