Abstract

Background: Snooker is a kind of cue sport in which skill plays an important role. To reach a professional level, snooker players must acquire many physical and mental skills. Strengthening the core muscles, which provide a foundation for a successful limb function in skill sports such as snooker, can be achieved by performing Pilates exercises. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of core muscle training on skill and balance for snooker players. Methods: In this study, 30 male snooker players were divided into Pilates (n = 15) and control groups (n = 15) by randomization. The Pilates group performed the mat Pilates exercises three sessions per week consisting of 30 minutes of Pilates training in addition to one hour of routine snooker training per session for six weeks. The control group performed one-hour routine snooker training three sessions per week at the same time period. To assess the players' skills, the line-up test was used to measure the break score, and the foul number test was used to calculate the foul number. Players' balance was evaluated by the stork balance test. All tests were performed pre and post 6 weeks of exercise for between and within- group comparisons. Results: Line-up and stork test scores were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the Pilates group compared with the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the foul numbers between groups after Six weeks of Pilates exercises. Conclusions: Six weeks of mat Pilates exercises improves the snooker players' balance ability and break scores.
核心肌肉训练对斯诺克运动员技术和平衡的影响
背景:斯诺克是一项技巧性很强的球杆运动。要达到职业水平,斯诺克选手必须掌握许多身体和心理技能。通过普拉提练习可以增强核心肌肉,这为斯诺克等技能运动中成功的肢体功能奠定了基础。目的:本研究旨在探讨核心肌肉训练对斯诺克运动员技术和平衡的有效性。方法:将30名男子斯诺克运动员随机分为普拉提组(n=15)和对照组(n=5)。普拉提小组每周进行三次普拉提练习,包括30分钟的普拉提训练,以及六周内每次一小时的斯诺克常规训练。对照组在同一时间段每周进行三次一小时的斯诺克常规训练。为了评估球员的技术,使用阵容测试来测量破发得分,并使用犯规次数测试来计算犯规次数。玩家的平衡是通过鹳平衡测试来评估的。所有测试都是在运动前和运动后6周进行的,用于组间和组内比较。结果:与对照组相比,普拉提组的队列和鹳形测试得分显著增加(P<0.05)。然而,在普拉提运动六周后,各组之间的犯规次数没有显著差异。结论:经过6周的垫式普拉提训练,斯诺克运动员的平衡能力和突破得分均有所提高。
