The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Swiss-ball core strength training on trunk extensor (abdominal)/flexor (lower back) and lower limb extensor (quadriceps)/flexor (hamstring) muscular strength, abdominal, lower back and leg endurance, flexibility and dynamic balance in sedentary women (n = 21; age = 34 ± 8.09; height = 1.63 ± 6.91 cm; weight = 64 ± 8.69 kg) trained for 45 minutes, 3 d·wk-1 for 12 weeks. Results of multivariate analysis revealed significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between pre and postmeasures of 60 and 90° s trunk flexion/extension, 60 and 240° s-1 lower limb flexion/extension (Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer), abdominal endurance (curl-up test), lower back muscular endurance (modified Sorensen test), lower limb endurance (repetitive squat test), lower back flexibility (sit and reach test), and dynamic balance (functional reach test). The results support the fact that Swiss-ball core strength training exercises can be used to provide improvement in the aforementioned measures in sedentary women. In conclusion, this study provides practical implications for sedentary individuals, physiotherapists, strength and conditioning specialists who can benefit from core strength training with Swiss balls.
本研究旨在探讨瑞士球核心力量训练对久坐女性躯干伸肌（腹部）/屈肌（下背部）和下肢伸肌（股四头肌）/屈肌（腘绳肌）肌肉力量、腹部、下背部和腿部耐力、柔韧性和动态平衡的影响（n = 21；年龄 = 34 ± 8.09；身高 = 1.63 ± 6.91 厘米；体重 = 64 ± 8.69 千克），这些女性接受了 45 分钟的训练，每周 3 天，持续 12 周。多变量分析的结果显示，60°和 90° s 躯干屈伸、60°和 240° s-1 下肢屈伸（Biodex 等速测力计）、腹部耐力（仰卧起坐测试）、下背部肌肉耐力（改良 Sorensen 测试）、下肢耐力（重复深蹲测试）、下背部柔韧性（坐立前伸测试）和动态平衡（功能性前伸测试）的前后测量值之间存在显著差异（p ≤ 0.05）。结果支持瑞士球核心力量训练可以改善久坐女性上述指标的事实。总之，本研究为久坐个体、物理治疗师、力量和体能专家提供了实践意义，他们可以从瑞士球核心力量训练中受益。
