ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Good physical fitness refers to the ability of the human body to perform daily study and work activities effectively without fatigue. The physical quality of men’s basketball players is one of the essential factors affecting the team’s performance. Core strength training refers to the work of the stabilization-related muscle groups located at the meeting of the base of the trunk, spine, pelvis, and lower limbs of the human body. It is believed that core strength training can help improve the basketball player’s athletic physical conditioning.
Objective:
This study aims to explore the reactions that core strength training can provoke on physical fitness in male college basketball players.
Methods:
Delphi method, principal component and factor analysis, R-type cluster analysis, and professional logic analysis were used to study the physical fitness quality of male college basketball players.
Results:
The test indicators and methods selected in this paper can reflect the fitness level of athletes. There was no significant difference in speed, flexibility and lower body strength of athletes in different defense position, forward position and center position (P>0.05). The fitness level of athletes after core strength training was significantly improved (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Core strength training can improve fundamental skills of basketball players, such as fast dribbling and short-duration running at high intensity. College male basketball players were shown to improve their indicators of physical fitness and overall physical conditioning. The results of this research provide a verified protocol that justifies its inclusion in the training of college male basketball players.
