TREINAMENTO DEDICADO DA FORÇA EXPLOSIVA NO CORE ABDOMINAL DOS JOGADORES DE FUTEBOL

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical confrontation in soccer games presents greater demands on athletes’ physical fitness. A soccer player’s speed, strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance, and explosiveness can affect the body’s fighting capacity. Objective: This study analyzes the relationship between strength training in soccer players’ abdominal core and physical fitness. Methods: The effect of abdominal core stability strength training on performance improvement in volunteer soccer players selected as research subjects was verified by random division into two groups (experimental and control groups). Both groups performed daily training. The experimental group added special abdominal core training. Mathematical-statistical algorithms were used to statistically analyze the physical indicators of the two groups of volunteers. Results: The indices of physical fitness and body explosiveness of the two groups of athletes were significantly improved (P<0.05). After systematic training, the competition performance of the experimental group and the physiological and biochemical indicators were better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: After abdominal core training, soccer players’ physical fitness and explosive power indexes were improved. Research shows that strength training can help improve abdominal core performance in soccer players. It is recommended that coaches implement abdominal core strength training in the daily training of athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
