Abstract
This study was planned in order to determine the effect of core exercises on anaerobic capacity of female basketball players. Twelve female athletes who play basketball participated in the study voluntarily. The athletes had 3 sets of repetitive core exercise program performed 4 days a week for 8 weeks at the end of their basketball trainings. The height of the athletes was 165 ± 6.57 cm, body weight was 58.73 ± 7.42 kg, age was 19.75 ± 1.05, and athletic age was 6.11 ± 2.11. According to the analysis of the results, peak power, average power, right and left hand grip strengths and right and left arm fat percentages of post-tests were found to have a statistically significant difference than the pre-tests (p <0.05). To sum up, there are very few studies on the anaerobic capacity of female basketball players, especially on the upper extremities. It is observed that basketball players have a stronger anaerobic capacity in attack and defense and that core exercises have a positive effect on certain basketball-specific technical skills such as passing, shooting, dribbling and defensive movements, and in this sense, they will also increase the performance of the athletes.
Highlights
IntroductıonThe work capacity of the skeletal muscles generated using anaerobic energy transfer systems during maximal and supra-maximal physical activity is defined as "anaerobic capacity" and the value of this work in unit time is expressed as "anaerobic power" (kgm/sc, kgm/min, watt), (Yıldız, 2012)

There are limited studies on upper extremity of the core training and they have conflicting and overlapping aspects when compared to our results
Summary
The work capacity of the skeletal muscles generated using anaerobic energy transfer systems during maximal and supra-maximal physical activity is defined as "anaerobic capacity" and the value of this work in unit time is expressed as "anaerobic power" (kgm/sc, kgm/min, watt), (Yıldız, 2012). Anaerobic performance is a term that is of great importance for sports branches that are completed in a short time or that require explosive force (Erkılıç, 2015). In other words, this increase in anaerobic performance is the increase resulted in the efficiency of the ATP-PC storage and the lactic acid system. Since the anaerobic requirements are predominant and repetitive during a match, it is stated that basketball is often more dependent on anaerobic capacity than aerobic capacity and that anaerobic glycolysis as a source of energy is significantly involved in the performance of various high intensity activities (Halder et al 2016). It was planned to determine the effect of core exercises applied to women basketball players on anaerobic capacity
