Effect of a Six-week Core Stability Training in Physical Education Classes on Dynamic Balance and Agility in Badminton Special Boys

Abstract

To investigate the effects of 6 weeks of progressive core stability training on dynamic balance and agility in college male badminton students. 65 college students majoring in physical education were randomly divided into an experimental group (6 weeks of progressive core stability training) and a control group (6 weeks of regular physical training). The duration, frequency and intensity of physical training were the same in both groups. The results revealed that after the intervention: (1) The results and overall scores of the 8 directions of SEBT in the experimental group were better than those before the intervention, and there were no differences in the results of SEBT in all directions on the left and right sides. (2) The test results and comprehensive scores of the left leg supported under the experimental group were better than those of the control group in all directions except for the results in the anterolateral and lateral directions, and the results in the lateral and medial-anterior directions under the right leg support. (3) The reach distance of SEBT under left and right leg support in the control group was signifcantly increased only in the lateral direction compared with that before the intervention. (4) No signifcant change in agility was observed in both groups. Progressive core stability training can significantly improve the dynamic balance of boys specializing in badminton in college physical education, and promote the balanced development of dynamic balance on the left and right sides, but did not signifcantly improve their agility.
