Bioefficacy analysis of core strength in cheerleading ala c bar movements and pedestal athletes
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the kinematic characteristics of the Ara C-bar maneuver in cheerleading and the effect of base athlete’s core strength on their bioefficacy, with a view to providing a scientific basis for enhancing athletes’ performance. Methods: Kinematic analysis was performed on 99 cheerleaders, and a three-dimensional motion capture system was used to measure key parameters during their movements, and a questionnaire survey was combined to assess the athletes’ core strength levels. The relationship between core strength and athletic performance was explored through statistical analysis of the data. Results: The results of the questionnaire survey showed that athletes generally agreed on the importance of core strength training, with 85% of the participants indicating that core strength training had a significant effect on improving athletic performance. Kinematic analysis showed that changes in base athletes’ hip moments during the Ala C bar movement significantly affected the movement’s stability and fluidity. Athletes with higher levels of core strength demonstrated better control and stability during the execution of the movement, which significantly increased the success rate of completing the movement (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Cheerleading base athletes’ effectiveness in the Ala C bar maneuver is significantly impacted by their core strength. Enhancing core strength training enhances athletes’ technical proficiency and stability while facilitating the execution of other challenging actions. In order to maximize athletes’ competitive level, trainers are advised to concentrate on developing core strength in their training regimens. The impact of various training techniques on the development of core strength and their unique mechanisms of action on athletic performance could be further investigated in future studies.
