The purpose of this research was to determine whether some stability exercises performed on the floor exercise mat to increase core strength would improve the technical application level of students. Method: A sample of 39 young male students from a university (age = 22.1±1.2 years, height = 170.3±6.5 cm, weight 65.2±8.7 kg, Body Mass Index = 22.5±2.8) participated in the study. The participants were into the control group (n=19) and experimental group (n=20) completed pre-tests and post-tests. The CS was assessed by the Stability Movement Push-ups, Abdominals, Back, Pull-ups, Headstand. The results of the paired samples t-tests show that the experimental group had a significant improvement in the mean scores for all four movements on the post-test compared to the pre-test. The mean score for the push-ups increased from 4.9±1.2 to 7.5±1.3 (t(14)=-10.78, p<0.001), the mean score for the abdominals and headstand increased from 4.6±1.0 to 7.0±1.2 (t(14)=-10.14, p<0.001), the mean score for the back and handstand increased from 4.8±1.1 to 6.9±1.2 (t(14)=-7.86, p<0.001), and the mean score for the pull-ups increased from 4.7±1.0 to 7.3±1.1 (t(14)=-11.47, p<0.001). Since the p values of the four movements are lower than 0.001, it is seen that there is a statistically significant difference between the scores obtained in the pre-test and the scores obtained in the post-test. According to the results, working out the core muscles may help enhance the technical execution of stability exercises performed on the mat or floor.
