Effect of Core Training using Bosuball on Dynamic Balance in Professional Male Volleyball Players

In the game ofvolleyball, technical-tactical elements as well as fundamental and supportingbio-motor skills are frequently utilised. A high level of aerobic and repeatedsprint capacity, muscular strength and endurance, agility, quickness, andflexibility are all needed to play volleyball, which is a very physicallydemanding sport. Volleyball has the traits of a dynamic exercise with measuredintensity, with bursts of fast, explosive action followed by a brief period ofrelative calm. In order to sprint to advantageous positions while attacking orcounterattacking, it also demands quick acceleration. In order to provideregional strength and balance, the core is crucial. The core serves as the hubof the functional kinetic chain, supplying proximal stability for the limbs’distal motion and functionality. For athletes to perform better and preventinjuries, the core stability is essential. The goal of this study is to see how8 weeks of core training using bosuball affect dynamic balance in professionalvolleyball players. A total of 26 players will be divided into two groups:experimental group (n= 13) who will undergo sports specific core training withthere regular training and control group (n= 13) who will undergo only regulartraining program. The athletes are selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. The athletes will be trained for 8 weekswith three sessions per week. 0 week (pre), 4 week and 8 week (post) interventionassessment of all the outcome measure (star excursion balance test) will betaken at 0 week, at the end of 4 weeks, 8 weeks respectively. The data will be analysedusing dependent t-test.
