Relation between core strength, core stability, and athletic performance-a mediation analysis approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Core strength and its control in movement, also called core stability, are crucial for athletic performance. However, there is no consensus in the scientific literature regarding the extent of the relation between core strength, core stability, and athletic performance. According to the functional anatomy of the core, it seems that core stability indirectly influences the relation between core strength and athletic performance.

Objectives

This study aimed to examine the relation between core strength, core stability, and athletic performance.

Methods

Forty-one adult sport students were included in a laboratory study. The subjects participated in two testing sessions. Each testing session started with the Unilateral Landing Error Scoring System (ULESS) test.
