Effect of Core Training on Physical Fitness and Offensive Skills, 12 Weeks Core Training

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The 12 week core training plan designed in this study is based on relevant literature and basketball characteristics. The training plan divides the training difficulty into four levels. The experimental group receives core training with different difficulties in 1-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 7-9 weeks and 10-12 weeks respectively.

Upper-Intermediate Level： In week 7: Barbell Hip Lift (75%1RM×10); Barbell Bench Press (75%1RM×10); Stiff Leg Deadlifts (75%1RM×10); Barbell Bent-Over Row (75%1RM×10); All of these training with 3 sets and 90s recovery. Diagonal Plate Chop (15KG×15); Standing Ab Wheel Rollouts (Body weight×10); Barbell Hyper Extensions (15KG×15); Dumbbell Hanging Knee Raise (10KG×15); All of these training with 3 sets and 60s recovery. In week 8-9: Barbell Hip Lift (80%1RM×8); Barbell Bench Press (80%1RM×8); Stiff Leg Deadlifts (80%1RM×8); Barbell Bent-Over Row (80%1RM×8); All of these training with 3 sets and 120s recovery. Diagonal Plate Chop (20KG×10); Standing Ab Wheel Rollouts (Body weight×10); Barbell Hyper Extensions (20KG×10); Dumbbell Hanging Knee Raise (25KG×10); All of these training with 3 sets and 60s recovery. Advanced-Level：In week 10: Landmine Rotation (25KG×15); Dead Ball Slam (5KG×10); Kettlebell Swing (25KG×15); Standing Chest Pass Medicine Ball (3KG×10); All of these training with 3 sets and 120s recovery. Barbell Hip Lift (85%1RM×6); Barbell Bench Press (85%1RM×6); Stiff Leg Deadlifts (85%1RM×6); Barbell Bent-Over Row (85%1RM×6); All of these training with 3 sets and 180s-300s recovery. In week 11-12: Landmine Rotation (30KG×12); Dead Ball Slam (8KG×8); Kettlebell Swing (30KG×12); Standing Chest Pass Medicine Ball (4KG×8); All of these training with 3 sets and 120s recovery. Barbell Hip Lift (90%1RM×4); Barbell Bench Press (90%1RM×4); Stiff Leg Deadlifts (90%1RM×4); Barbell Bent-Over Row (90%1RM×4); All of these training with 3 sets and 180s-300s recovery.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Swiss ball<br>Swiss ball practice can create an unstable environment and play an important role in promoting the development of muscle function and joint stability. It can effectively train the core muscles. Swiss ball practice will be involved in intermediate level training to develop participants' stability and muscle endurance。 | Device: Core training<br>* Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time<br>|
| Experimental: Kettlebell<br>Kettlebell training can strengthen the anti rotation ability of the trunk. For example, Kettlebell training has many actions like kettlebell swing. This movement is easy to cause imbalance in the human body, so they can further exercise the trunk stability and anti rotation ability required by athletes. | Device: Core training<br>* Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time<br>|
| Experimental: Barbell<br>Barbell is a commonly used and multifunctional strength training instrument. It is usually used as the main instrument to develop the maximum muscle strength and muscle explosiveness. Therefore, this study will involve barbell practice in upper intermediate training and advanced level training | Device: Core training<br>* Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time<br>|
| Experimental: Medicine balls<br>Medicine balls are often used to assist patients in injury recovery, rehabilitation and strength training, and play an important role in the field of sports medicine. Its special design and construction make training more functional and in line with the movement chain theory, such as throwing training, so the medicine ball is often used in explosive force and core training. Therefore, this study will involve medicine balls practice in upper intermediate training and advanced level training | Device: Core training<br>* Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time<br>|

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Star Excursion Balance Test | Before the SEBT can be performed, four strips of athletic tape will need to be cut to a length of 6-8 feet each. Two pieces will be used to form a'+', with the other two being placed over top to form an'x'so that a star shape is formed. It is important that all lines are separated from each other by a 45°angle.The goal of the SEBT is to maintain single leg stance on one leg standing in the centre of the star while reaching as far as possible with the contralateral leg. When using the right foot as the reaching foot, and the left leg to balance, the athlete should complete the circuit in a clockwise fashion. When balancing on the right leg, the athlete should perform the circuit in an anti-clockwise fashion.After they have completed a full circuit with each foot, a total of three times per leg. The test administrator should have recorded the reach distance of each successful attempt, with a pencil, in order to calculate the athlete's SEBT score after the test. | week 1 |
