Abstract: (2013 Views)
Background: Many articles have demonstrated the beneficial impact of core stability training (CST) in lowering the risk of injury while exercising. However, the specific reasons for this effect have not been thoroughly investigated. Considering that proprioceptive and dynamic balance improvement, as indicated by studies, plays a positive role in reducing the risk of sports injuries, it is important to explore further the impact of these exercises on the specific factors contributing to reducing the risk of injury during sports activities.
Aims: This research aims to evaluate the impact of 6 weeks of CST and balance training (BT) programs on knee proprioception and dynamic balance in healthy female amateur athletes.
Materials and Methods: Twenty female soccer players (mean age: 25.85 ± 3.18; body mass index: 22.14 ± 1.11 (kg/m2)) were divided randomly into the CST and BT groups. Knee proprioception was measured using the joint position sense test (JPST), and dynamic balance was measured using the modified star excursion balance test (mSEB) one week before and immediately after the 6-week interventions.
Results: This study found that both training protocols significantly affected knee proprioception and dynamic balance (p < 0.05). CST had a significant difference from BT in the result of the posteromedial (P.M) direction of the mSEBT and the absolute error of the JPST in 60°. In contrast, BT had a significant difference from CST in improving the anterior (Ant) direction of mSEBT.
conclusion: The research indicates that CST and BT have the potential to enhance dynamic balance and knee proprioception in female soccer players.
