摘要

This study examined the impact of Core Stability Training (CST) on the jump serve speed of elite male volleyball athletes. A total of 20 athletes participated in a 10-week in-tervention, with participants assigned to either the Core Stability Training Group or the Conventional Core Strength Training Group. Core stability metrics, Jump serve arm-swing performance, and jump serve speed were assessed via pre-test, mid-test, and post-test measurements. Results indicated that all measured indicators showed significant improvements in both groups (P < 0.05). However, the Core Stability Training Group demonstrated significantly greater enhancements in side plank endurance, 1-minute sit-up performance, plank hold duration, and Jump serve arm-swing performance (assessed via medicine ball forward throw and badminton long throw) compared to the Conventional Group. Post-test data revealed that the jump serve speed of the Core Stability Training Group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P = 0.037). Correlation analysis confirmed positive associations between core stability, Jump serve arm-swing performance, and serve speed. The findings suggest that Core Stability Training effectively enhances the jump serve speed of male volleyball athletes. The un-derlying mechanism involves improvements in core stability and the efficiency of force transfer along the kinetic chain, which in turn increases the swing speed of the distal limbs.
