    Objetivo: Averiguar el efecto del entrenamiento de fuerza de los músculos del Core durante ocho semanas (cinco días / semana) sobre las variables deestado físico y composición corporal en jugadores masculinos de juegos de equipo.Métodos: Cincuenta y cinco jugadores masculinos fueron seleccionados para el estudio. Los sujetos se dividieron aleatoriamente en grupo experimental(n: 30) y grupo control (n: 25). La resistencia lateral del tronco, la resistencia y el poder explosivo de la pierna, la resistencia de los músculosabdominales, el peso corporal, el porcentaje de grasa corporal, la masa de grasa esencial, la masa de grasa no esencial, la grasa corporal total absoluta y elárea de superficie corporal se midieron antes y después de la intervención.Resultados: Se observó el efecto significativo del programa de entrenamiento del Core (p<0.05) en la resistencia lateral del tronco, la potencia explosivade la pierna y la resistencia de los músculos abdominales (38.29 %, p<0.001; 10.57%, p<0.001; 71.23%, p<0.002 respectivamente). Además, seencontraron cambios significativos en el peso corporal, % de grasa, grasa esencial, grasa no esencial, grasa corporal total absoluta, área de superficiecorporal, masa magra y masa corporal libre de grasa (F: 28.88, p<0.001; F: 4.25, p: 0.41; F: 28.88, p<0.001; F: 5.37, p<0.001; F: 5.80, p: 0.20; F: 27.93,p<0.001; F: 2.40, p: 0.141; F: 2.03, p: 0.16, respectivamente).Conclusión: El programa de entrenamiento de fuerza muscular del Core de ocho semanas utilizado en este estudio fue muy efectivo para producirbeneficios significativos para el rendimiento del nivel de condición física y la composición corporal, así como para reducir el peso de los jugadoresmasculinos.

    Objective: To find out the effect of core muscles strength training for eight weeks (five days/week) on fitness and body composition variables in maleplayers of team games.Methods: Fifty five male players were selected for the study. Subjects were randomly divided into experimental (n: 30) and control group (n:25). Lateraltrunk endurance, endurance and explosive power of leg, abdominal muscles endurance, body weight, body fat percentage, essential fat mass, non-essential fat mass, absolute total body fat and body surface area were measured before and after intervention.Results: The significant effect of core training program was observed (p<0.05) in lateral trunk endurance, explosive power of leg, abdominal musclesendurance(respectively; 38.29%, p<0.001; 10.57%, p<0.001; 71.23%, p<0.002). Also, significant changes were found in bodyweight, fat %, essential fat,non-essential fat, absolute total body fat, body surface area, lean body and fat free body mass(respectively; F: 28.88, p<0.001; F: 4.25, p: 0.41; F: 28.88, p<0.001; F: 5.37, p<0.001; F: 5.80, p: 0.20; F: 27.93, p<0.001; F: 2.40, p: 0.141; F: 2.03, p: 0.16).Conclusion: The eight-week core muscles strength training program used in this study was very effective for producing significant benefits to fitness levelperformance and body composition, as well as lowering the weight of male players.

Os individuos foram divididos aleatoriamente em grupoexperimental (n: 30) e grupo controle (n: 25). Resistência lateral do tronco, Resistência e potência explosiva da perna, Resistência dos músculosabdominais, Peso corporal, Percentual de gordura corporal, Massa gorda essencial, Massa gorda não essencial, Gordura corporal absoluta absoluta eSuperfície corporal foram medidas antes e após a intervenção.Resultados: O efeito significativo do programa de treinamento do Core foi observado (p<0.05) na resistência lateral do tronco, força explosiva da perna,resistência dos músculos abdominais (38.29%, p<0.001; 10.57%, p<0.001; 71.23%, p<0.002respectivamente). Além disso, foram encontradas alteraçõessignificativas no peso corporal,% de gordura, gordura essencial, gordura nãoessencial, gordura corporal total absoluta, área de superfície corporal, corpomagro e massa corporal livre de gordura (F: 28.88, p<0.001; F: 4.25, p: 0.41; F: 28.88, p< 0.001; F: 5.37, p<0.001; F: 5.80, p: 0.20; F: 27.93, p<0.001; F:2.40, p: 0.141; F: 2.03, p: 0.16,respectivamente).Conclusão: O programa de oito semanas de treinamento de força dos músculos do Core usado neste estudo foi muito eficaz para producir benefíciossignificativos ao desempenho do nível de condicionamento físico e composição corporal, além de diminuir o peso dos jogadores do sexo masculino.
