IMPACTS OF CORE STRENGTH TRAINING ON BALANCE IN MARTIAL ARTS ATHLETES

IMPACTOS DO TREINO DE RESISTÊNCIA DO CORE SOBRE O EQUILÍBRIO EM ATLETAS DE ARTES MARCIAIS

IMPACTO DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DE LA FUERZA DEL CORE EN EL EQUILIBRIO DE LOS ATLETAS DE ARTES MARCIALES

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Physical conditioning is an essential component of sports skills. The main routine training methods for skill enhancement in martial arts players should be based on traditional movements. Core strength training has also been shown to be valid for the physical conditioning of martial arts players.

Objective:

This paper studies the qualitative changes in the balance of martial arts athletes caused by the insertion of core strength training.

Methods:

This paper selects 24 martial arts players by sampling and randomly divides them into control and experimental groups. The biomarkers of the volunteers were stored and processed under statistical methods to organize and display the data.

Results:

The experimental and control groups showed high statistical significance in each index after testing (P<0.05). The results show that the methods used in the experimental and control groups can effectively improve their performance in core and key explosive movements during exercise. There were very significant changes in the extensor muscle peak in both groups. The experimental group showed more significant improvement than the standard group (P<0.05). The experimental group’s flexor peaks showed a more significant difference than the control group. In contrast, the experimental group showed a more remarkable improvement than the standard group (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

Core resistance exercise can effectively promote a center of gravity balance in martial arts athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
