The core region is a part of the body composed of axes surrounding the torso and plays a crucial role in maintaining stability. Therefore, it is considered important for maintaining athletic performance in athletes. This study aims to investigate the effects of core strength training, in addition to routine training programs, on jumping, agility, speed, balance, and shooting speed performance in amateur football players.

The core region, consisting of muscles that surround the torso, plays a crucial role in maintaining stability in the body. Therefore, it is considered essential for maintaining athletic performance in athletes. It is known that the core region is activated before extremity movements in achieving athletic performance. For this reason, core training plays an important role in maintaining optimal extremity movement and improving performance. Furthermore, the importance of core stabilization in preventing injuries is emphasized. Although various studies have been conducted on the importance of core training in athletes, the lack of standardization still makes this issue significant. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of core strength training, in addition to routine training programs, on jumping, agility, speed, balance, and shooting speed performance in amateur football players.
