Associations of multiple core stability aspects with drop jump performance
Abstract Background Drop jump performance (DJ) is essential for many ball sports. Core stability (CS) contributes to trunk control and lower-limb capacity during jump movements. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between multiple CS aspects and DJ performance. Methods Eighteen male university basketball players were recruited from a university. Kinematic and kinetic data of DJ were collected using infrared cameras and force plates. Five tests—sit-ups (SU), trunk extensor endurance (EE) …
