Comparison of The Effect of Static and Dynamic Core Exercises on Physical Performance Parameters in Young Boxers

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of static and dynamic core exercises on physical performance parameters in young boxers. Twenty well-trained young male boxers aged 14-18 years old were voluntarily involved in the study. All participants were grouped randomly into dynamic and static core exercise groups. A six-week core exercise training program was performed on static and dynamic core exercise groups. Anthropometric measurements and physical performance tests; Yo-yo intermittent recovery test level 1, 30m speed test, hexagon agility test, standing long jump, maximum push-up, 30s sit-ups, flamingo balance and sit and reach flexibility tests were performed repeated 2 times before and after 6 weeks of training. Data were collected before and after six weeks of core exercise training and were analyzed using Paired t-test and ANCOVA test procedures. The results indicated that the core exercise training program significantly improved both groups' speed, agility, long jump, muscular endurance and 30m sprint performance. (p
