Core strength training (CST) has been shown to improve performance in several sports disciplines. CST is recognized as one of the crucial elements that enhance athletic performance, particularly impacting badminton skills. Despite its popularity as a strength training method among badminton players, there is a lack of comprehensive studies examining the effectiveness of CST on the performance of these athletes.
This study aims to ascertain CST's effects on badminton players' performance.
This study followed PRISMA principles and conducted comprehensive searches in well-known academic databases (SCOPUS, Pubmed, CNKI, Web of Science, Core Collection, and EBSCOhost) up to August 2023. The inclusive criteria were established using the PICOS framework. Following their inclusion based on PICOS criteria, the selected studies underwent literature review and meta-analysis. The methodological quality of the assessments was evaluated using Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tools bias risk tools and recommendations for a graded assessment, development, and evaluation.
The analysis included participants aged 10-19 years from 13 studies of moderate quality, totaling 208 individuals. The CST intervention s lasted between 4 to 16 weeks, with a frequency of 1 to 4 sessions per week and each session lasting 20 to 120 minutes. Sample sizes across these studies ranged from 8 to 34 participants. According to the meta-analysis, CST significantly influenced badminton performance, particularly in areas of explosive power (ES = 0.03 P = 0.04), front-court skill (ES = 2.53, P = 0.003), and back-court skill (ES = 2.33, P = 0.002).
CST enhances badminton players' fitness (strength, power, balance, and stability), in situ (front/back-court) skills, and movement position hitting. However, its effects on speed, endurance, agility, flexibility, and coordination are unclear, revealing a research gap. The precise benefits of CST, especially on flexibility and specific hitting skills (smashes, clears, drives, net shots, crosscourt, push, and lift shots), need more investigation. Additionally, research on CST's impact on female athletes is significantly lacking.
核心力量训练（CST）已被证明能提高多项运动项目的表现。CST 被认为是提高运动表现的关键因素之一，尤其对羽毛球技能有影响。尽管 CST 作为一种羽毛球运动员的力量训练方法很受欢迎，但缺乏全面研究来检验 CST 对这些运动员表现的影响。
本研究旨在确定 CST 对羽毛球运动员表现的影响。
本研究遵循 PRISMA 原则，截至 2023 年 8 月，在知名学术数据库（SCOPUS、Pubmed、CNKI、Web of Science、Core Collection 和 EBSCOhost）中进行了全面检索。使用 PICOS 框架制定了包容性标准。根据 PICOS 标准进行纳入后，对选定的研究进行文献回顾和荟萃分析。使用 Cochrane 协作风险偏倚工具和分级评估、制定和评价建议评估评估的方法学质量。
分析纳入了来自 13 项中等质量研究的 10-19 岁参与者，共计 208 人。CST 干预持续 4 至 16 周，每周 1 至 4 次，每次 20 至 120 分钟。这些研究的样本量从 8 到 34 名参与者不等。根据荟萃分析，CST 显著影响羽毛球表现，特别是在爆发力（ES=0.03，P=0.04）、前场技能（ES=2.53，P=0.003）和后场技能（ES=2.33，P=0.002）方面。
CST 提高了羽毛球运动员的身体素质（力量、爆发力、平衡和稳定性）、场上（前场/后场）技能和移动位置击球能力。然而，它对速度、耐力、敏捷性、灵活性和协调性的影响尚不清楚，这显示出研究的空白。CST 的具体益处，特别是对灵活性和特定击球技能（扣杀、高远球、平抽球、网前球、斜线球、推球和挑球）的影响，需要更多的研究。此外，关于 CST 对女性运动员影响的研究明显缺乏。
