EFFECTS OF SLING EXERCISE ON THE CORE ENDURANCE AND PERFORMANCE OF BASKETBALL PLAYERS

ABSTRACT Introduction Strong core stability and strength enable the trunk to transfer maximum amount of torque terminal segments, which is conducive improving athletic performance. Because sling training a new exercise method, its effect on endurance relative basketball performance has rarely been studied. Objective To investigate whether program in specific sports group can improve sports-specific Methods A total 40 college students majoring were randomly assigned control groups. standardized set basketball-specific tests used determine assess effects strength, endurance, control. Results Flexor, extensor, right left lateral flexor muscles significantly greater than group, time complete layup obstacle course was shorter at end program, p<0.01. No differences between two groups found penalty shot, fixed position or vertical jump reach program. Conclusions Sling exercises players increase speed lay-ups over obstructions. Level evidence I; Randomized clinical trial.
