Detailed description: Hibbs constructed the Model of Core Training and Potential Performance according to the theoretical framework of core strength training. This study intervention design part of the researchers referred to Greg Glassman's "CrossFit training guide" and theoretical framework of core strength training. Motion design source form Motion design source "Diversified Training to Enhance Core Strength State General Administration of sport (Sport.gov.cn)"and Khatoon wrote the article. The duration and frequency of intervention came from the review. It is found in reviewing the effect of core strength training on badminton players' performance is 8 weeks and 3 times. Therefore, this study adopted intervention for 8 weeks, 3 times a week. The subjects of this study are 18-22 years old female college elite badminton players, all of whom are national second-level and above athletes.

In addition, the specific content of the routine training of the control group was the standard training plan of the school. The dependent variables measured in this study are physical fitness (strength, speed, endurance, agility, and flexibility) and killing the ball under different states, including in sit Smash, jump smash, move left smash, move right smash, and back smash.
