ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Lifting weights requires muscular capacity, strength, and determination. Strength training for weightlifters stimulates the nervous system and promotes muscle hypertrophy. Strength training is the most important point in weightlifters' training.
Objective:
Explore the effects of abdominal core strength training on the physical fitness of weightlifters.
Methods:
26 weightlifters were selected by random sampling. The athletes participated in physical training for 26 weeks. Athletes' physical fitness was measured before and after training. Tests included the y-Balance test, stability exercises, and abdominal center strength. After each training session, the players used foam rollers and baseballs for recovery training. After the experiment was completed, the data was analyzed by mathematical statistics.
Results:
The left lower limb stability of the weightlifters was better than the right in the Ans direction; in all three directions, there were extremely significant ipsilateral differences before and after the experiment(P<0.05). There was a highly significant difference between the level and super level of the ipsilateral upper limbs of the athletes (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
Weightlifters who practiced abdominal core strength exercises significantly improved the dynamic stability of the lower limbs. Young male weightlifters' upper limb motion stability is more symmetrical during abdominal core strength exercises. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
