Core Stabilization Training in Elite Athletes

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Athlete
Registration Number
NCT06042374
Lead Sponsor
Gulsah Bargi
Brief Summary

The studies in the literature have not sufficiently investigated the effects of core stabilization training on anaerobic performance. Therefore, this study was planned to comparatively investigate effects of progressive core stabilization training applied to elite athletes on anaerobic capacity, anaerobic performance, and fatigue.

Detailed Description

In taekwondo, weightlifting, badminton, and volleyball sports branches, strong relationships between sports performance, anaerobic strength and fatigue parameters have been also shown. It is clear of the necessity of developing anaerobic capacity using various exercises in these elite athletes. However, the studies conducted to date have not sufficiently investigated the effects of core stabilization training on anaerobic performance and fatigue with more objective methods and enough sample sizes. This study was planned to comparatively investigate effects of progressive core stabilization training applied to elite athletes on anaerobic capacity, anaerobic performance, and fatigue.
