Brief Summary

Core stability is an important component maximising efficient athletic function. Function is most often produced by the kinetic chain, the coordinate sequenced activation of body segments that places the distal segment in the optimum position at the optimum velocity with the optimum timing to produce the desired athletic task. Speed and power are critical performance factors in football. Football including jumping, kicking, tackling, turning, sprinting, changing pace, and sustaining forceful contractions to maintain balance and control of the ball against defensive pressure. In the literature, no study has demonstrated the effectiveness of core stability exercise program in adolescent football players.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercise program on adolescent male football players.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Kicking Velocity Measurement

  Kicking velocity will measure with Bushnell Velocity Radar Gun ((Bushnell Performance Optics, Overland Park, KS) in km/h.

  Measurement will repeat three times in 2 minutes intervals and the mean value will be taken. Baseline and 8 Weeks reported.

• Run Speed Measurement

  Run speed will measure with 20 Meter Sprint Test in sec.

  Measurement will repeat three times in 2 minutes intervals and mean value will be taken. Baseline and 8 Weeks reported.

• Agility Measurement

  Agility will measure with 505 Agility Test in sec. The athlete runs from the 15 meter marker towards the line and through the 5 m markers, turns on the line and runs back through the 5 meter marker and stopped when they return through these markers (that is, the time taken to cover the 5 m up and back distance -10 m total).

  Measurements will repeat three times in 2 minutes intervals and mean value will be taken. Baseline and 8 Weeks reported.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

23 Football players from Gönyeli Futbol Akademisi voluntarily will participate in the study. Subjects will include to study if they fulfil criteria. Athletes will involve 8 Weeks core stability exercise program. During this process they will continue to attend routine football training program. After 8. Weeks assessments will be repeated.
