This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the influence of core muscle training on throwing ball velocity among overhead throwing athletes.
A literature search was performed from inception to July 2023 for randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of core muscle training on overhead throwing ball velocity. The primary outcome was the change in standing throwing ball velocity. The secondary outcome focused on the enhancement of step/jump throwing ball velocity.
Ten randomized controlled trials were included, revealing a significant improvement in standing throwing ball velocity in the group undergoing core muscle training (Hedges' g = 0.701, 95% confidence interval = 0.339 to 1.063, P < 0.001). Longer treatment duration and a higher frequency of core muscle training sessions per week contributed to improved standing throwing ball velocity. However, core muscle training did not show significant benefits for step (Hedge's g = 0.463, 95% confidence interval = -0.058 to 0.985, P = 0.082) and jump throwing ball velocity (Hedges' g = 0.550, 95% confidence interval = -0.051 to 1.152, P = 0.073).
Core muscle training significantly enhanced standing ball throwing velocity. However, its effect on step/jump throwing ball velocity was less certain. Further research is needed to explore the impact of core muscle training (especially its long-term effects) on throwing ball velocity.
本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在评估核心肌肉训练对过顶投掷运动员投球速度的影响。
从研究开始到 2023 年 7 月，我们对调查核心肌肉训练对过顶投掷球速度影响的随机对照试验进行了文献检索。主要结局指标为站立投球速度的变化。次要结局指标为增强跨步/跳跃投球速度。
纳入了 10 项随机对照试验，结果显示接受核心肌肉训练的组站立投球速度显著提高（Hedges' g = 0.701，95%置信区间为 0.339 至 1.063，P < 0.001）。更长的治疗持续时间和更高的每周核心肌肉训练次数有助于提高站立投球速度。然而，核心肌肉训练对跨步（Hedge's g = 0.463，95%置信区间为-0.058 至 0.985，P = 0.082）和跳跃投球速度（Hedge's g = 0.550，95%置信区间为-0.051 至 1.152，P = 0.073）没有显著的益处。
核心肌肉训练显著提高了站立投球速度。然而，其对跨步/跳跃投球速度的影响不太确定。需要进一步研究来探讨核心肌肉训练（特别是其长期效果）对投球速度的影响。
