| description | Introduction: The success of the karate player mainly depends
on the balance and core strength. Improvement in these physical
variables depends upon the type of exercise training used by
the athletes. In the Indian context, there is lack of literature
that supports the use of Pilates and Plyometric Training (PT)
programme in training of Karate players. Therefore, to achieve
success in the sport, best training method should be chosen by
athletes or coaches.
Aim: To compare and evaluate the effectiveness of two training
programs Pilates and Plyometric on balance and core strength
of National level male Karate athletes.
Materials and Methods: The design of this study was
experimental and sampling technique was simple random
sampling. This study was conducted on a sample of 120 with
40 subjects in each group i.e., Experimental group A (Plyometric,
N=40), Experimental group B (Pilates, N=40) and Control group
C (N=40). The data was collected during 20th May 2018 to 10th
February 2020. The national level male karate players in the age
group of 18 to 24 years with playing experience of five years
were included in the study. The plyometric and pilates training
were carried out in experimental groups for three days per week
for eight weeks and no training method was implemented in the
control group. Three reading were recorded, at the baseline, at
the end of 4th and 8th week. Dynamic balance and core strength
were the outcome measurements which were measured by
modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) and isometric
core strength tests respectively. All the data was analysed by
SPSS version 2.0 and the descriptive stats noted as mean±SD.
ANOVA post-hoc analysis were calculated with p-value
significance set at <0.05.
Results: After eight weeks of intervention, both experimental
groups showed significant improvement in dynamic balance
and core strength comparisons between the groups. When
the pre-test and post-test values of the experimental groups
have been compared at the 4th week and 8th week of the study
showed significant improvement (p-value <0.001) in the mSEBT
and Core strength of the plyometric group compared to pilates
and control group.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed that
plyometrics and pilates both can improve balance and core
strength of karate players but the PT method had more positive
and statistically better effects on core strength and dynamic
balance than pilates group in the view of sports performance. |
