Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of core stability exercises to increase motor control, function and resistance strength of the abdominal muscles, compared to a traditional abdominal and trunk exercise program in semi-professionals soccer players

Detailed description

The 51 participants were semi-professional soccer player and were divided into two different groups using a computer system: the CORE-group or ABDOMINALS-group. Four weeks of training were developed. Outcome variables: Back extension test; Flexion endurance test; FMS; functional movement screen; lateral muscle test right; lateral muscle test left. Kinematic variables were recorded during the test using an accelerometer. A comparison intra-group and intergroup were developed.

Conditions

• Functional Performance
• Resistance Training
• Exercise

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Core training	A total of 12 sessions were carried out, which lasted for 4 weeks, with a frequency of 3 sessions/ week. The duration of each session was 11 minutes 30 seconds. The working time of each exercise was 30 seconds with a 5 seconds rest between exercises, meaning that each exercise cycle lasted for 2.50 seconds. Three exercise cycles were performed with a 90 seconds rest between each one of them
