Core training effectively improves sport performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of core training on the performance measures of speed, agility and quickness of U19 male football players.
A total of 24 young male football players were divided into 12 in the experimental group (aged 18.17±0.72) and 12 in the control group (aged 18.31±0.75). The experimental group performed 30-35 min core training three days a week for eight weeks while the control group continued their routine training. Measurements included a 40-meter sprint test for speed, a hexagon test for quickness and an agility-T test for agility. Pre-test measurements at the start of the study and post-test measurements after eight weeks were compared by an ANOVA 2×2. A significant level of P<0.05 was established.
In the experimental group, there were an improvement in quickness (pre: 17.27±3.24"; post: 16.79±3.09"; P=0.005, η=0.53) and agility (pre: 12.86±1.17"; post: 12.38±1.12"; P=0.003, η=0.56), but the speed did not change (pre: 6.14±0.57"; post: 6.00±0.45", P=0.653).
The use of core training in combination with normal football training is shown to be effective in improving quickness and agility but not speed among young male football players after a period of eight weeks. So, it appears reasonable to include specific core training programs within football training.
核心训练能有效提高运动表现。本研究旨在确定核心训练对 19 岁男性足球运动员速度、敏捷性和灵敏性表现指标的影响。
共有 24 名年轻男性足球运动员被分为实验组（年龄 18.17±0.72 岁）和对照组（年龄 18.31±0.75 岁）各 12 人。实验组每周进行 3 天、每次 30-35 分钟的核心训练，而对照组则继续进行常规训练。测量包括速度的 40 米冲刺测试、敏捷性的六边形测试和灵敏性的敏捷 T 测试。通过 2×2 ANOVA 对研究开始时的预测试测量值和 8 周后的测试测量值进行比较。设定了 P<0.05 的显著水平。
实验组的敏捷性（预：17.27±3.24"；后：16.79±3.09"；P=0.005，η=0.53）和灵敏性（预：12.86±1.17"；后：12.38±1.12"；P=0.003，η=0.56）均有所提高，但速度没有变化（预：6.14±0.57"；后：6.00±0.45"，P=0.653）。
在正常足球训练中加入核心训练，在 8 周的时间内，可有效提高年轻男性足球运动员的敏捷性和灵敏性，但对速度没有影响。因此，在足球训练中纳入特定的核心训练计划似乎是合理的。
