Abstract:The purpose of the research is to look at how an organized core training program affects the athletic and skill performance of district-level basketball players. Core training is essential for enhancing performance, improving balance, and preventing injuriesof players, here a total of 48 district-level basketball players under-14, under-18 were selected at random for core training group (CTG). The CTG took part in a15-week core training program that included three times per week workouts targeting the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, Gluteal, hip, pelvic, Shoulder Girdle and Upper Back region. Athletic performance (vertical jump, agility, and sprint speed) and basketball-specific abilities (shooting accuracy, dribbling speed, passing precision) were assessed both before and after the intervention. According to the findings, core training can assist players enhance their overall athletic and skill performance, particularly in strength, sprinting, jumping, balance, agility, shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and stepping. Furthermore, core training, especially on unstable surfaces, and the combination of static and dynamic core training increase basketball players' athletic and skill performance.
