THE EFFECTS OF CORE AND PLYOMETRIC TRAINING PROGRAM ON PERFORMANCE AND STRENGTH IN MALE ELITE SOCCER PLAYERS

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the 3-weeks effects of the isolated core training program and plyometric combined core training program on speed, balance, agility and muscle strength of the elite soccer players.
Material and methods: Elite soccer players were divided into two groups with an average age of 15.33 ± 0.48 and 16.66 ± 0.48. One group performed isolated core training (G1), while the other performed additional plyometric exercises (G2). Training programs were implemented 2 days a week for 3 weeks. Illinois agility test, 30 meters sprint test, tandem gait test, T test and muscle strength values of deltoideus, triceps, biceps, iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, hamstring, quadriceps femoris muscles were compared at baseline and after 3 weeks of training.
Results: Both groups had a statistically significant improvement in Illinois agility test, 30-meters sprint test, tandem gait test, T test and muscle strength values (p=0.001) after training program according to the baseline, except for the T test values of the players in G2 (p=0.130). However, the changes were not statistically different between the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The 3-weeks core exercise program improved performance based agility, speed, balance and muscle strength, while the 3-week plyometric exercises did not create additional significant changes in these parameters. Detailed analyzes such as electromyographic activity of the muscles are needed.
