12주간 코어안정화 훈련이 여자 중하교 농구 선수들의 기초체력과 경기력에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the effect of a 12-week core stability training on physical fitness and athletic performance in girls’ middle school basketball players and to provide related baseline data. Ten female basketball players had done a core stability training for a hour a day and 3 days a week during 12 weeks. We measured physical fitness (muscle strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility and balance) and athletic performance (power, agility and speed) before and after this training. Paired t-test was conducted using SPSS ver. 21 for the data analysis with the significant level α=.05 As the results, all of muscle strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility and balance significantly increased (p<.001). Also, power and speed showed a significant increase (p<.05). In summary, we found that the participation in 12-week core stability training resulted in improvement on all components of physical fitness and athletic performance except agility. However, further comparative or analytic studies which have more subjects and various measuring methods are needed to get more clear data.
