Programa de entrenamiento de Core sobre agilidad, rapidez y fuerza en deportistas diletantes de voleibol del equipo Jaguares de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loj

Abstract

Abstract: This research evaluated the effect of a core training program on agility, speed, and strength in amateur volleyball players from the "Jaguares" team of the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja during the period 2025 2026. It was based on the limited systematic incorporation of core strengthening in the university setting, despite its relevance for athletic performance and injury prevention. A quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted, evaluating athletes who participated in a core training program for six weeks. The variables were assessed using standardized tests. The results showed significant improvements in agility, speed, and strength, reflected in reduced execution times, increased endurance, and greater muscle power. It is concluded that core training is an effective strategy for optimizing physical performance in amateur volleyball players, and is a viable and replicable program in university sports contexts.
