BACKGROUND Neuromuscular training that includes both plyometric and dynamic stabilization/balance exercises alters movement biomechanics and reduces ACL injury risk in female athletes. The biomechanical effects of plyometric and balance training utilized separately are unknown. HYPOTHESIS A protocol that includes balance training without plyometric training will decrease coronal plane hip, kn...

The present study investigated the effects of 8-weeks of core stability training on fundamental movement skills in children with low proficiency in both locomotor and object control skills. By using a semi-experimental research design. 30 elementary boy students (means age= 8.89 years, SD= 1.06) were recruited and organized in training (n= 15) and control group (n=15). Fundamental movement skil...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Synchronized swimming is a sport of artistic expression, skill, and physical fitness. Explosive, high-intensity movements rely mainly on the athlete’s good basal strength. Although China attaches great importance to training synchronized athletes, there no theoretical achievement in consolidating specific training. Objective: To analyze impact CORE strengthening athletes....
