Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of eight weeks of core with plyometric training on rang of motion and power athletes with chronic ankle sprain. The statistical population of this study included all young boys with ankle sprain. The sample consisted of 30 subjects (10 for each group), who were initially targeted and finally randomly selected and matched to three groups of (Core stability, Plyometric) and control group were divided. The explosive power and range of motion (dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) were evaluated and measured before the start of the training protocol. The experimental group performed their exercises consisting of core stability and plyometric exercises for eight weeks (3 sessions per week) and the control group did not perform any training activity during the study. Finally, after the exercise protocol, a test was used to evaluate the variables. To determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test of each of the experimental and control groups, the dependent and independent t-test were used by SPSS software. The results showed that Core stability training had a significant effect on power, but there was no significant difference in range of motion (plantar flexion and dorsiflexion) and no significant improvement from pre-test to post-test. Plyometric exercises had significant effect on ankle strength and range of motion (plantar flexion and dorsiflexion).
