Abstract :Despite the widespread popularity of the Core Stability Trainings insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CST);, research has not yet to establish specific guidelines that provide the most beneficial and deliberate protocols for young athletes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 8-week Stable Surface Core Stability Training Program on static and dynamic balance tasks with dominant and non-dominant foot stance among twelve-year-old soccer players. Fifteen of the soccer players were in the experimental group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(age=148.67 ±3.37 months, Height= 154.19±9.43 cm., Weight= 45.52±7.91kg.);, 11 of them were insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(age=145.73 ±3.84 months, Height= 152.36±6.05 cm., Weight=45.19±7.85kg.); in the control group. Participants completed 16 CST sessions over 8 weeks. Protocol was progressive as from static stable surface movements to dynamic movements. Static and dynamic balance measured by Force Platform insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Bertec, Custom Made);. Participants performed time-to-stabilization test for dynamic balance task. Averaged mean sway value in Anterio-Posterior and Medio-Lateral direction was used to evaluate unilateral static balance task. The effect of CST program on dynamic balance performance was assessed by 2 x 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group x Time); univariate analysis of variance with repeated measures and effect on static balance with univariate analysis of variance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 x 2);. Participating in soccer exercises improved dynamic balance for both dominant and non-dominant foot insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< .05);. Only significant interaction of implementation and time was observed for dominant foot insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p < .05);. However, no main effect of CST on dynamic balance performance for dominant and non-dominant foot and no implementation x time interaction for non-dominant foot were observed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p> .05);. Significant effect was observed for implementation in Medio-Lateral direction for dominant foot insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< .05);. Eight week stable surface CST improved stabilization time and static balance in Medio-Lateral direction for dominant foot, but not for non-dominant among participants
