摘要

Objective

To determine the effects of core stability training on jump performance in soccer players.

Methods

A systematic search of controlled trials up to November 2024 was conducted in PubMed, Bireme, Scopus, and Web of Science, following the Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA checklist guidelines. Two reviewers independently selected studies, resolving disagreements with a third reviewer. The ROB2 tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger’s regression. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the SIGN checklist, and the reporting quality was evaluated according to the CONSORT guidelines. Data were analyzed in RevMan-Web using fixed-effects meta-analysis, with heterogeneity assessed through I2, χ2, and Galbraith plots. Finally, the certainty of the evidence was determined using the GRADE approach.

Results

A total of 2977 manuscripts were identified, of which 20 met the inclusion criteria, providing data from 591 soccer players. No relevant improvements were observed in horizontal jump (p = 0.74; 95% CI – 0.26–0.37). Significant increases were found in the Abalakov jump with a gain of 1.66 cm (IC 95% 0.54–2.79; p = 0.004), the countermovement jump improved 1.29 cm (IC 95% 0.31–2.28; p = 0.01) and the squat jump, 1.49 cm (IC 95% 0.56–2.42; p = 0.002). Although the magnitude of effects was moderate, these findings suggest a meaningful practical benefit in favor of core stability protocols.

Conclusion

Physical therapists and strength and conditioning coaches working with amateur soccer teams should consider including core stability training programs to enhance vertical jump performance.
