ABDOMINAL CORE STRENGTH TRAINING IN YOUNG STUDENTS

Abstract

Introduction: Recent studies point out that strength training with load may substantially help athletes’ stren-gth, while strength training with moderate load may improve motor coordination. Objective: Investigate the current status of abdominal core strength training in young people, surveying the current problems. Methods: Students from a particular province were selected for the investigation. We performed tests, comparisons, and analyses of results on the abdominal core strength of the exercises practiced in sports schools to provide better support for amateur training. The Abdominal Octopole Strength Bridge Test uses overcoming one’s weight. Results: Boys accounted for 59.04% of abdominal core strength, while girls accounted for only 22.50%, with most of them at their average level of 40.00%. The proportion of girls with low scores is also higher (26.25%); in boys, the deficient proportion is 8.77%. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the abdominal core strength of the students. The expectation of a difference between male and female students not being very large contrasted with the reality, suggesting that girls need to pay attention to abdominal core strength training during training.
