Summary

Forty-two adolescent female volleyball athletes (16.0±1.4 years) were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 was the training group and, in addition to the routine volleyball training programmes, underwent an 8-week (3 days/week) progressive core stability training programme. Group 2 was the control group and only did routine volleyball training, with no core stability training.

Main outcome measures: Shoulder IR and ER strength, medicine ball throw (MBT), modified push up (MPU) and closed kinetic chain (CKC) upper extremity stability tests were used to evaluate physical performance.

exercise training

The core stability training programme was performed 3 days per week over an 8-week period, and each training session lasted approximately 50 minutes.We created a special programme for our study based on the literature; the core stability training programme was divided into 3 phases: easy(1-2 weeks), moderate(3-5 weeks) and difficult(6-8 weeks In the easy phase(phase1), the athlete was intended to gain sensorimotor control that would ensure the smoothness of the neutral spine during slow movements. The participants learned the hallowing technique and how to use this technique while doing core exercises. In the moderate phase(phase2), muscular neural adaptation and neuromuscular facilitation were targeted with the transition to high threshold strength training.In the last, difficult, phase(phase3), subconscious control of movement was taught using combined movement patterns with the aim of transitioning to functional positions and activities.
