Abstract

The Relationship Between Core Stability, Muscular Endurance, and Static Balance, and Shooting Function in Military Soldiers

Highlights

  • The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between core stability muscles endurance and static balance, and shooting performance in military soldiers

  • Statistical test results suggested a significant correlation between the mean shooting scores and total records of core stability muscles endurance (P=0.000, r=0.661), as well as shooting and static balance tests (P=0.000, r=0.684)

  • Independent Samples t-test data revealed a significant difference between the two groups in the level of core stability muscles endurance and static balance (P=0.000)

Summary

Methods

The study subjects were 100 inclusive soldiers of the Disciplinary Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NAJA) Training Center (mean±SD age: 23.92±1.66 years; weight: 73.96±12.77 kg). Their mean shooting scores were recorded by the range officer and divided into two equal groups with a record of >60< points. To assess core stability muscles endurance, a series of tests consisted of core stability exercises were used [14]. A record of 5 tests (plank, side plank to the right, side plank to the left, trunk flexor, and trunk extensor) was used to assess core stability muscles endurance [15, 16, 21]. The Independent Samples t-test was used to compare the data between shooting scores of >60 and
