Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine whether core strength would increase overall
sports performance. The research was to determine if women could produce more force
production when kicking and throwing a soccer ball as a result of increased core strength. A test
created by the researcher was used based on previous research to measure adequate core
strength. The study was quasi-experimental and used a pre-test and post-test design. The results
of the current study supported the null hypothesis and show no statistical significance based on
the results of the tests. Based on the results of the study, further research would have to be done
to examine the relationship between core strength and sports performance.
