The Study of Methods of Functional Core Stability for Gymnastics Training

Abstract

Introduction: Considering that gymnastics requires rapid, complex and precise movements which produce compressive, tortional and shear forces on the low back and pelvic regions, the development of functional core stability should be given specific attention. A stable and strong core or trunk, will act as an accelerator in the transfer of power, provide efficient transition of elements and importantly reduce injury. The purpose of the study is to find effective some methods to train. Methods: Two groups have taken part in test of the study, 12 people each group, gymnastic athletes from Beijing University of P.E, age from 17 to 20, one group is rest, the other test, setting the coring exercises, Setting the exercises: a rainbows; b: airplane; c: balanced tripod pushups; d: plyometric coreball pushups. Thesis exercises are effective after training 4 weeks on female sports aerobics of BUPE. Results: The test shows that the ability of balance and the controlling muscles is up. The testing group has longer time on controlling, from 120 ± 16.7SD to 156 ± 10.2SD; the rest group from 118 ± 13.66SD to 122 ± 8.34SD. Discussion: The trunk or core muscles act as stabilizers to transfer energy from our legs to our upper body and arms. Control of pelvic position and core strength will maintain balance, stability, and form and body alignment for control, impact and lift elements. Training the body as a unit with frequent repetitions will insure “automatic stabilization” of core muscles in the many intricate and unique elements that Gymnastics demand. A stable and strong core or trunk, will act as an accelerator in the transfer of power, provide efficient transition of elements and important
