Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in core stability, core strength, ergometer rowing technique and power output after a a specific core training program. 13 young rowers followed an 8-week training program consisting of 20min additional training realized 4 to 5 times a week composed of low load core stability, high load dynamic strength and ergometer specific exercises. After the program, rowers’ global core stability was improved (p=0.003), but not trunk maximal isometric strength. Ergometer rowing tests showed significant improvement of trunk technique (higher mean to peak power and work ratio, lower trunk negative power) and trunk power (+35W) at 20spm but only for trunk technique at a competitive stroke rate. This training program could be considered by the rowers and trainers to develop sport-specific core capacity to produce and transfer power.
