In the last few years, many coaches, trainers, and athletes have implemented some type of core training exercises. The core training has aroused many people's interests in athletics training. Core training refers to exercise that strengthen and stabilize muscle groups surrounding your spine, shoulder and pelvic girdles. These areas make up your body's core, from where you get power, posture and stability. Therefore, core training can help alleviate unnecessary joint stress, and prevent injury. There are many benefits of core training, including improved posture and low back health. Core training can also improve awareness with movement, promote balance, improve neuromuscular coordination and enhance functional movement (movements that you perform in everyday life). The core must be strong, have dynamic flexibility and function synergistically in its movements in order to achieve maximum performance.Core training programs have been used in variety of athletes' training program with documented success. Core training will lead to greater maximal power yet more efficient use of the peripheral muscles of the shoulders, arms, and legs, better body balance. However, there has been little or no research studying the efficacy of core training program on the improvement of non-athletes' sport performance or constitution. Thus, it was the purpose of this study to determine the effect of a progressive core training program on sport performance and constitution in University Girl Students. Sixty Liaoning normal university ordinary girl student were randomly assigned to an exercise (N=30) or control (N=30) group. The exercise group participated in a core training program including core stability exercises, balance exercises, and resistance exercises. The control group participated in an aerobic calisthenics. Every group had 10 weeks training and 3 times every week, 30 minutes every time. We used heart rate to control the exercise intensity and use 130~145 times/min as target heart rate.Pre- and post-measurements included body figure, function and physique. Paired t-tests were performed to analyze the constitution of exercise and control group subjects. After the intervention, exercise group subjects' constitution improved more greatly compared with control group. In summary, this core training program on university girl student resulted in significant improvements in vital capacity, physical function and quality.
