Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The popularity of core stability and strengthening exercise programs in physical rehabilitation and fitness practice, which has become popular since the 20th century, is increasing day by day. The purpose of this research is to reveal the effects of core stability and core strength exercises performed on stable and unstable ground on selected skills.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Scientific studies have shown that there is no clear view on the effects of core exercise models applied on different surfaces, and there are very few studies that observe performance increases in sports activities. Based on this, the aim of this study is to understand more clearly the effects of core stability and core strength exercises performed on stable and unstable ground on selected skills and to implement more functional training programs accordingly. Thus, it is assumed that core training will provide strong positive effects on performance in both athletic and daily activities.

Methods A total of 31 young individuals aged between 18-23, studying at Malatya Inonu University Faculty of Sports Sciences and without any health problems, were included in the study. Participants were divided into three groups: Stable Ground Group (SGG), Unstable Ground Group (USGG) and Control Group (CG). SGG and USGG exercise participants participated in a core exercise program for a total of 25-30 minutes, 2 days a week for 5 weeks. SGG participants performed exercises on a stable floor surface, while USGG participants completed the exercise program on a bosuball. . CG did not participate in any exercise program. CG continued their daily routine activities and maintained their current physical activity levels. The testers were blind to the group (control or training) each subject allocated to. At the end of the exercise protocol, the same procedures applied for the pre-test were applied for the post-test measurements. All tests were performed in an indoor sports hall. All data obtained were recorded on a form created specifically for the study.
