Abstract:
The word “core-stability” refers to a person’s ability to stabilize their core. It is an ability to control position and movement of core, while Physical activity refers to any movement produced by skeletal muscles that increases energy expenditure above basal level. The ability of core to maintain control of body and movements can be contributing to the ability to have greater physical activity and vice versa thus aim of this study was to describe the effects of integrative core stability training on jump and dribbling performance in college basketball players for which 40 college men basketball players were selected from the Nellore District of Andhra Pradesh age ranged between 18years to 25 years. The 40 men basketball players are divided in two groups Experimental Group and Control group. The training program was monitored for 4 weeks, with a total of 8 sessions (biweekly, 1 hour each). Based on the muscle group various assessments are planned and collected the data. The EG obtained significant differences in the pre-post comparison in the side hop left limb (0.05) and right limb (0.001), in left and right 6m timed hop test (p<0.0005). The results of the T-test for independent data show intergroup differences in the post-test (GS vs GC) statistically significant in 6 meters hop (p<0.001, ES: 0:56). The GC showed significant improvements only in vertical jump (p<0.01).
