Core Endurance and Throw Performance in Young Judokas
Sponsor: Inonu University
Summary
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between core endurance, medicine ball throw performance, and static balance in young male judokas aged 10-13 years. Core endurance will be assessed using McGill's isometric core endurance protocol, including trunk flexion, trunk extension, and lateral bridge tests. Explosive performance will be evaluated using the backward overhead medicine ball throw test, while static balance will be assessed using the Flamingo Balance Test. Correlation and regression analyses will be conducted to examine the relationships between core endurance and performance variables. The findings may contribute to understanding the role of core endurance in youth judo performance.

Interventions
McGill's Core Endurance Test Battery
Participants performed four isometric endurance tests: trunk flexor, trunk extensor, and right/left lateral bridge tests to assess core stability.
Backward Overhead Medicine Ball Throw
Used to measure explosive power. Participants threw a 2 kg medicine ball backward over their head for maximum distance
Flamenco Balance Test
A static balance test where participants stood on one leg on a metal beam for as long as possible
