Abstract
<p>The aim of this study is to examine the effect of core stabilization training on drag-flick and shot performance in young hockey players. For this purpose, 20 super league level hockey players participated in the study as subjects. The subjects were divided into two equal groups as experimental and control. While core training and hockey training were applied together for 8 weeks to the experimental group; the control group only continued their routine hockey training. Shot and drag flick tests were applied to the groups one day before and one day after the 8-week period. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 program. After testing for normality and homogeneity, independent samples t-test was performed for between groups, and paired samples t-test was performed for pre-post-tests of each group. When the results were examined, there were significant changes in the hit and drag flick parameters in favor of the post-tests between the pre-post tests in the experimental group in which core training was applied (p&lt;0.05), while the significant changes in the control group were not evaluated because they were in favor of the pre test. Despite these results, there was no significant difference in the measured features between the groups (p&gt;0.05) As a result, it can be said that core training has positive effects on drag flick and shot performance in hockey players.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0905/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Highlights
When we look at it in this direction, it is aimed to determine the effect of the 8-week core stabilization training program applied regularly on the drag flick and shooting performance of hockey players in our study, which was carried out within the framework of this subject, which was emphasized as important
The subjects were randomly divided into two groups. 10 hockey players were in the experimental group and 10 hockey players were in the control group
Shot and drag flick tests were applied to the hockey players the day before and the day after the 8-week training process, and the effect of core training on hockey skills was tried to be determined between the groups
Summary
After a good core work, efficient results are obtained in studies such as balance, acceleration, acceleration and deceleration The fact that these studies are good is important in reducing injuries, improving the musculoskeletal system and increasing performance. It is known that holding the breath, trunk strength, and trunk oscillation stability are important in the shooting performance needed in hockey In this direction, we think that this thesis study is important in terms of revealing the extent to which shooting performance will improve with core training. When we look at it in this direction, it is aimed to determine the effect of the 8-week core stabilization training program applied regularly on the drag flick and shooting performance of hockey players in our study, which was carried out within the framework of this subject, which was emphasized as important
