OpenAlex · English

Objective: The aim of this study is to the relationship between core stabilization and balance in the national curling athletes. Materials and Methods: 38 curling player, 19 men and 19 women, whose average of age was 19.67±2.90 were included in the study. İn the study, Body composition were measured to use TANİTA TBF 300 device. To Measure Core stabilization levels were used Sit-Up Test, Biering Sorenson Test and Sport-Specific Core Muscle Strength & Stability Plank Test. Balance were measured with SPORKAT 4000 Dynamic and Static Balance Device.The analysis of acquired datas from study is doneusing SPSS (version 24) for Windows Statistical Programme.Independent t-test was used for the comparison of paired groups while Pearson correlation was used for the control of the association between variables. Significance for statistical datas was selected being p<0.05. Results: Sit-up Test average were 44.31± 7.59 in men and 30.84±6.13- in women, Biering Sorenson Test average were 226.78±74.60 in men and 289.10±111.10 women, Sport-Spesific Core muscle strength & stability plan test average 280.26±113.14 in men and 176.05±47.128 women. Dynamic Balance Test average were 7677.26±1467.12 in men and 5207.94±1436.02 in women. The Static balance average were definitely 7759±1554.98 in men and 5477.63±2004.06 in women. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it is found that there wasn’t a significant relation between back endurance and static, dynamic balance, that there was a significant relation between sit up and static, dynamic balance. There was significantly relation between plank time and dynamic balance. However between Plank time and Static balance was not significantly relation.
