Introduction: This study examined how a six-week progressive flywheel resistance training program for the core muscles affects gymnasts’core explosive strength and floor exercise performance. Methods: Ten elite male artistic gymnasts were recruited. Core explosive strength was measured using average power, maximum concentric power, maximum eccentric power, and average strength obtained from a flywheel resistance training machine. Inertial sensors were used to collect trunk acceleration and rotational angular velocity during straight-back somersaults with 2/1 and 3/1. After the pretest, the participants were divided into experimental and control groups (n = 5/group) using a randomized crossover trial design. Following six weeks of progressive training, a posttest was conducted to collect relevant data. After a seven-week washout period, the two groups were swapped and underwent another six weeks of training. Statistical analyses were performed using dependent and independent samples t-tests, considering a significance level ofα= 0.05. Results: The experimental group showed significant pretest-to-posttest improvements in average power and maximum concentric power during the supine rotational explosive strength tests and in average power, maximum eccentric power, and average strength during prone rotational explosive strength tests (p < 0.05). It also showed significant pretest-to-posttest improvements in trunk acceleration at takeoff in straight-back somersaults with 2/1 and 3/1 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The adopted training program can effectively enhance the core explosive strength and trunk acceleration capabilities of gymnasts’floor exercise athletic performance. Future studies may integrate lower body and core training to explore the optimal training schedules for artistic gymnasts. |
