Background and Purpose: Lower extremity performance and dynamic balance are an essential component of normal daily activities such as walking, running and climbing stairs. Thus, they are a key component of injury prevention and rehabilitation in sports. Training the core muscles has been hypothesized as an intervention for improving balance and lower extremity performance. However, there is a lack of current scientific evidence to support this claim. Hence, it is essential to verify the effects of the core stability training on dynamic balance and performance of lower extremity in young, asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: young, asymptomatic individuals (n=20 control, n=20 experimental) were selected and pre training sessions were held for both the groups in which limb length, core stability, dynamic balance using Star Excursion Balance Test and lower extremity performance using T Test of agility were assessed. The subjects in the experimental group had to undergo progressive core stability training programme for 6 weeks and control group had to refrain from any form of structured core stability training for 6 weeks. After six weeks, both groups had to undergo post training session where all the parameters were assessed again. Result: Data analysis revealed a significant increase (p<0.0001) in the core stability and dynamic balance in the experimental group as compared to control group. There was a significant increase (p<0.0001) in the lower extremity performance in both the groups individually. Whereas, there was no significant improvement (p=0.05) in the lower extremity performance on comparing the control and experimental groups. Conclusion: The study suggested that core stability training improves dynamic balance but failed to find a significant effect of core stability training on lower extremity performance. Clinical Implications: Core stability training can be used in patients with balance deficits so as to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls and injuries.

Then subjects divided to two control and experimental groups. The experimental groups performed a core stabilization program included 6- week and three times per week. The post-test of BBT did for two groups afterward. Paired sample t-test, and t-test for independent groups used to analyze the data (P≤0.05). Significant differences were seen between pre and post BBT after the applying core...
The Effect of Core Stabilization Training Program on Elderly Postural Control
As hygienic principles are increasingly considered, longevity and elderly population augments in consequence. Sixty females recruited from a total of 200 and aged more than 60 years (70.6 ± 6.0 yrs, 55.8 ± 5.8 kg of weight and 157.8 ± 7.8 cm of height) were classified as low falling risk and high falling risk. Then, these subjects were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. A week prior to starting the training program, their balance status were measured with the Berg balance test (BBT) and compared with independent and dependent t-tests. The experimental group followed a core stabilization program of three days per week, for eight weeks. At the end of this period, they performed better (p<0.05) than the controls. The training program had also better effects on the high risk group. Significant differences were observed for balance following the training program, in both the anteroposterior and mediolateral planes (p<0.05). In conclusion, significant differe...

There are many forms of exercise that can improve the quality of balance, either static or dynamic Core Stability Exercise (CSE) is one of them. Based on the explanation, this research intends to apply various forms of balance training to children who participate in various sports in primary school-age. The purpose of this research is to find out the effectiveness of CSE in supporting good body balance in children. This research employed an experimental research design. The population was the students of a primary school in Sumedang Regency, West Java. Random cluster sampling was used to select 60 primary school students with an average age of 10-11 years as the participants in this research. Moreover, Standing Stork Test-Blind was used as the measuring instrument to obtain objective data. The results showed that CSE significantly affected the balance of primary school students.
The purpose of the present research was to study the effect of eight weeks functional and core stabilization training on dynamic balance in inactive elder males. Forty five inactive elder males voluntarily participated in this research and randomly divided into three groups of functional training (FT), core stabilization training (CST) and control (N=15 per groups). The Y-Balance Test was used to assess dynamic balance before and after training. The training procedures were elaborated for the subjects and were performed for eight weeks, 3 sessions per week, and one hour per session. One-way ANOVA was applied to determine the differences between three groups at the α ≤ 0.05. Results revealed that there were no significant differences among three groups in pretest and between FT and CST in posttest) as well. However, there were significant differences among FT and CST with control group (P ≤ 0.05) in posttest. In conclusion, using both types of training are recommended for increasing ...
Reaching the age to elderly is the most important scientific progress of human, but especially balance and cognitive decline in motor function for dynamic and static balance is the most difficulty of elderly men and women in the new world. The purpose of this study was to assess a training program on static and dynamic balance and core stability functional and quality of life among elderly women. Materials and Methods: 30 elderly women with an average age of 58/79 ± 7/02, Height 150/08 ± 32/03 cm and weight 70/15 ± 10/53 kg at Amateur Club of Najaf Abad Esfahan were selected and randomly divided into two groups.

There is limited information on lower extremities proprioception and core stability. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of a core stability program on the lower extremities proprioception of collegiate students. In addition, the study examined the effect of program on muscles strength, joint position sense (JPS), muscles endurance and functional ability. Nineteen college-aged individuals followed a core stability program for 3 weeks, 4 times per week. Assessments were performed at the begging and the end of study. Biodex Stability System was used to assess balance ability. The Isokinetic dynamometer was used to assess knee concentric muscles strength 60 and 180°/sec, and joint position sense (JPS). Knee extensors and flexors muscles strength endurance was measured by the single-leg squat test on a step, and functional ability through the hop and triple hop tests. At the end of 3 weeks the core stability program increased (p < 0,05) the balance ability. Likewise, improvements were observed on the JPS (p < 0,05), muscles endurance (p < 0,05) and functional ability (p < 0,05) of 2 extremities. The core stability exercises, improved balance ability knee muscles endurance, functional ability and knee joint position sense.

Back ground and objectives: Evidences on the impact of Core Stability Training (CST) on Sports Functional Performances (SFP) have demonstrated some positive correlation between them in few sports, however evidences lack to prove causal relationship between them, especially among normal subjects. This study attempts to investigate the effect of 'CST' on 'SFP' and Dynamic Balance among healthy undergraduate college students.Methods:50 Healthy undergraduate college students were selected after initial screening process. They were randomly allocated to either core stability Training Group (TG) or Control Group (CG). Subjects in TG underwent 8-weeks of core stability training, whereas the subjects in CG were given no intervention and asked to carry out their usual activities. All the subjects underwent a pre and post intervention measurements for their level of sports functional performances such as agility running, distance running, ball throwing, vertical jumping, which were measured using 'T-test', '40-Yard dash test', 'Medicine ball throw test' 'Vertical jump height test' respectively and dynamic balance was measured using YBT Functional Goniometer. Results: Immediately after the 8-weeks of core stability training, sports functional performances such as ability to T-agility running (p=0.022), 40-Yard running (p=0.006), vertical jump height (p=0.030), have improved significantly in Training Group compared to Control Group, except medicine ball throw (p=0.348) and dynamic balance (p=0.200).Conclusion:8-weeks of core stability training in healthy undergraduate college students has resulted in improved lower limb sports functional performances. This causal relationship can provide reasonable support in recommending core stability trainings in sports performance enhancement training programmes for normal subjects.
Background: Lumbar core stability performance may be a function of the core muscles of the lumbar spine. Lumbar spine dysfunction could be related with the lower extremity functional performance including balance performance. Objective: The present study was undertaken to determine the correlation between the Core stability performance and the lower extremity static balance performance in the recreationally active individuals. Establishing a relation between the core stability and balance performance will provide a rationale to give core stability training for reducing balance deficit related injuries. Methods: Forty recreationally active subjects (20 males and 20 females) were selected for this study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their Core stability performance was evaluated using PBU Sorenson test and the lower extremity static balance performance using the Stork single limb balance test. Data was analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation and Pearson correl...
