Several studies reported the immediate positive effect of core stability exercises on postural balance in different populations. However, other studies documented no significant immediate effect on balance performance. It remains unclear whether a single session of core stability exercises can improve postural balance in soccer players with groin pain (GP). This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of core stability exercises on this parameter in these players. A total of 15 male soccer players with GP carried out a single session of 15 core stability exercises lasting 40 min. Static (force platform) and dynamic (Y-Balance test) postural balance outcomes were assessed 4 times: just before (T), post-1 min (T), post-30 min (T), and post-24 h (T) of the core exercises. Soccer players with GP showed significantly improved (p < 0.05 - 0.001) static (bipedal; firm surface-eyes closed, injured limb; eyes opened and closed) and dynamic (injured and non-injured limbs) postural balance at T, T, T compared to T. Additionally, better dynamic postural balance measures on injured limb were observed at T and T when compared to T. Findings revealed that a single session of core stability exercises acutely improved static and dynamic postural balance in soccer players with GP 1 min and 30 min after exercises, extending over 24 h. Therefore, trainers and coaches could consider integrating core exercises into warm-up programs for soccer players with GP who need to maintain balance during training and competitive events. Given that warm-up sessions typically last 25-30 min and the core exercises in this study require 40 min, players should complete an extra 25 min of core exercises before joining their teammates for the scheduled pre-warm-up and warm-up sessions. The remaining 15 min should be incorporated into the pre-warm-up session. Additionally, it is recommended to include these exercises into pre-event routines to optimize preparation time and balance performance during training sessions and competitive matches in soccer players with GP.
多项研究报告了核心稳定性训练对不同人群姿势平衡的即时积极影响。然而，其他研究记录了对平衡表现没有显著的即时影响。目前尚不清楚单次核心稳定性训练是否能改善患有腹股沟疼痛（GP）的足球运动员的姿势平衡。本研究旨在调查核心稳定性训练对这些运动员该参数的急性影响。共有15名患有GP的男性足球运动员进行了一组共15项核心稳定性训练，持续40分钟。在核心训练前（T0）、训练后1分钟（T1）、训练后30分钟（T2）和训练后24小时（T3）对静态（测力平台）和动态（Y平衡测试）姿势平衡结果进行了4次评估。与T0相比，患有GP的足球运动员在T1、T2和T3时的静态（双脚站立；坚硬表面-闭眼，受伤肢体；睁眼和闭眼）和动态（受伤和未受伤肢体）姿势平衡有显著改善（p＜0.05 - 0.001）。此外，与T0相比，在T1和T2时观察到受伤肢体的动态姿势平衡测量结果更好。研究结果表明，单次核心稳定性训练能在训练后1分钟和30分钟急性改善患有GP的足球运动员的静态和动态姿势平衡，并持续24小时。因此，教练和训练师可以考虑将核心训练纳入患有GP的足球运动员的热身计划中，这些运动员在训练和比赛中需要保持平衡。鉴于热身环节通常持续25 - 30分钟，而本研究中的核心训练需要40分钟，球员应在与队友一起进行预定的热身前和热身环节之前额外完成25分钟的核心训练。其余15分钟应纳入热身前环节。此外，建议将这些训练纳入赛前常规训练，以优化患有GP的足球运动员在训练和比赛中的准备时间和平衡表现。
