Despite the widespread popularity of the core stability trainings, research has not yet to establish specific guidelines that provide the most beneficial and deliberate protocols for young athletes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 8-week stable surface core stability training program on static and dynamic balance tasks with dominant and non-dominant foot stance among twelve-year-old soccer players. Fifteen of the soccer players were in the experimental group (Age=148.67±3.37 months, Height=154.19±9.43 cm, Weight=45.52±7.91 kg), 11 of them were (Age=145.73±3.84 months, Height=152.36±6.05 cm, Weight=45.19±7.85 kg) in the control group. Protocol was progressive as from static stable surface movements to dynamic stable surface exercises. Static and dynamic balance measured by Force Platform. Participants performed time-to-stabilization test for dynamic balance task. Averaged mean sway value in Anterio-Posterior and Medio-Lateral direction was used to evaluate unilateral static balance task. The effect of implemented program on dynamic and static balance performances were assessed by 2 x 2 univariate analysis of variance with repeated measures. Participating in soccer exercises improved dynamic balance for both dominant and nondominant foot (p<0.05). Only significant interaction of implemented program and time was observed for dominant foot (p<0.05). However, no main effect of implemented program on dynamic balance performance for dominant and non-dominant foot and no implementation x time interaction for non-dominant foot were observed (p>0.05). Significant effect was observed for implementation in Medio-Lateral direction for dominant foot (p<0.05). We conclude that eight weeks stable surface core stability training might be added into exercise programs for improving stabilization after landing and static balance performance in specific directions among junior soccer players

Effects of swiss ball training on knee joint reposition sense, core strength and dynamic balance in sedentary collegiate students
Cuğ, Mutlu; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Swiss ball training on (1) knee joint reposition sense (knee proprioception), (2) core muscle strength and (3) dynamic balance in sedentary collegiate students. In this thesis, two different participant groups and two different training methods were used. In order to evaluate the effect of Swiss ball training on knee proprioception and core strength, 3 days per week training was conducted throughout 10 weeks (Study 1). In order to evaluate the effe...
Effects of 8-week core stability training on junior male soccer players’ stattic balance performance
Yıldızer, Günay; Kirazcı, Saadettin; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2014)
The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of Core Stability Training on static balance performance. Studies on soccer focused on elites comparing to young. Regarding the locomotion, balance is a base for movement patterns. Soccer consist of different movements, mostly they are different types of running, kicking and bending. Core Stability training methods have been used for improving major muscles which have great role on maintaining balance. 15 of the soccer players were in the intervention ...
Effects of biological maturation on body composition, muscular strength, and agility in female tennis players
Söğüt, Mustafa; Kaya, Ömer Barış; Luz, Leonardo Go (2018-09-10)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of biological maturation on body composition and motor fitness among young tennis players. METHODS: Forty-seven female players, 10.6-13.2 years of age (11.5 ± 0.7 years), were tested on stature, sitting height, body mass, skinfolds (triceps and medial calf), maximal isometric grip strength, and hexagon agility test. Body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentages (BF%) were calculated accordingly. Number of years of experience in regular tennis...
Effects of eccentric hamstring training on lower extremity strength and landing kinetics in female recreational athletes
Salcı, Yaşar; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2008)
The purpose of this study was to display increase in eccentric hamstring strength after 10-weeks training program. Secondly, if such an increase occurred, would this strength change result in altered landing kinetics and improved jumping performance? 27 recreational female athletes assigned into experimental (n = 14) and control (n = 13) groups. Baseline measures of landing kinetics were collected using a force plate, strength data and proprioceptive measurements were evaluated using an isokinetic dynamomet...
Effects of self-paced high-intensity interval training and moderate- intensity continuous training on the physical performance and psychophysiological responses in recreationally active young adults
Soylu, Yusuf; ARSLAN, ERŞAN; Söğüt, Mustafa; Kilit, Bulent; Clemente, Filipe (2021-01-01)
This study aimed to compare the effects of 8-week self-paced high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. self-paced moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on the physical performance and psychophysiological responses of young adults. Twenty-eight recreationally active young adults (age: 21.1 +/- 1.6 years) were randomly assigned to either the self-paced HIIT (n = 14) or the MICT (n = 14) group training protocol. The HIIT consisted of two 12-24 x 30 seconds of high-intensity runs interspersed by 30 se...
