Core-Muscle Training and Neuromuscular Control of the Lower Limb and Trunk
2019
Overview
Comprehensive injury-prevention training (plyometric, agility, balance, and core-stability exercises) has been shown to decrease sport-related injury. The relationship between trunk control and sport-related injury has been emphasized; however, the isolated effects of core-muscle training are unclear.
To investigate the effect of a simple 8-week core-muscle-training program on the neuromuscular control of the lower limb and trunk during jump landing and single-legged squatting.
Controlled laboratory study.
Laboratory.
Seventeen female collegiate basketball players were randomly divided into training (n = 9; age = 19.7 ± 0.9 years) and control (n = 8; age = 20.3 ± 2.5 years) groups.
The training group completed the core-muscle-training program in addition to daily practice, and the control group performed only daily practice. Kinematic and kinetic data during a drop-jump test and single-legged squat were acquired using a 3-dimensional motion-analysis system.
Three-dimensional hip, knee, and trunk kinematics; knee kinetics; and isokinetic muscle strength were measured at the pretraining and posttraining phases.
For the drop-jump test, the maximal trunk-flexion angle increased (
= .008), and peak knee-valgus moment (
= .008) decreased in the training group. For the single-legged squat, the peak trunk-flexion angle increased (
= .04), and the total amount of trunk lateral-inclination angle (
= .02) and peak knee-valgus moment (
= .008) decreased in the training group. We observed no changes in the control group.
A consecutive 8-week core-muscle-training program improved lower limb and trunk biomechanics. These altered biomechanical patterns could be favorable to preventing sport-related injuries.
