Appreciation of Core Strength Training Programs to Enhance Football Basic Skills of Students in Shaanxi

Abstract

Background and aims: Football is a sport that combines strength, technology, and strategy. Strength is the core element of football's competitive ability. Football has high requirements for athletes' physical strength. It requires athletes to well control the balance and stability of the trunk, hips, limbs, and other muscle groups, and then carry out technical training on this basis. The objectives of this research were: (1) to develop training by applying core strength trying to improve the football skills of 16-18 years old in Shaanxi; (2) To study the effects of core strength training programs to enhance football basic skills of students 16-18 years old in Shaanxi; (3) To compare football basic skills between before and after core strength training programs.

Methodology: This research selected 30 football players with high attendance rates in daily training from Baoji City, Shaanxi Province Fang Tang senior high school (16-18) to participate in my research and divided them into the experimental group and the control group. The subjects participated in 8 weeks of training by using core strength training programs and football basic skills tests. Analyzed the results of the pre-test and post-test by using comparative statistics.

Results: The results were as follows: (1) improving core strength through training is feasible for football players to develop basic football skills; (2) new core strength training is more effective than traditional training methods; (3) for different basic football techniques, the impact of core strength is not the same, with some techniques relying more on core strength and others not; (4) to achieve satisfactory results, it is necessary to train for a long time and continue to develop training strategies and continuously improve the training plan during training.

Conclusion: It is basically feasible to improve the basic football skills of football players by adopting a new type of core strength training but to effectively improve the basic football skills of players, it is still necessary to rely on special technical training to achieve the desired effect. As basic physical quality training, core strength training can only play an auxiliary role in improving the basic skills of players. However, based on the current experimental results and experience summary, core strength is still of high importance for football technology.
