摘要

Objective

To determine the effects of core stability training on speed performance in soccer players.

Methods

A systematic search of controlled trials up to November 2024 was conducted in PubMed, Bireme, Scopus, and Web of Science, following the Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA guidelines. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, resolving discrepancies with a third evaluator. The risk of bias was assessed using the ROB2 tool. Methodological quality was evaluated using the SIGN checklist, and reporting quality was assessed with the CONSORT statement. The meta-analysis was performed in RevMan-Web using a fixed-effects model, with heterogeneity evaluated through I2, Chi2, and Galbraith plots. The certainty of the evidence was rated using the GRADE approach.

Results

Of the 2973 records identified, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising a total of 526 soccer players aged 9 to 23 years, predominantly male amateur and youth players. No statistically significant effects were observed on 30-m sprint speed (–0.04; 95% CI: –0.14 to 0.06) or 20-m sprint speed (–0.05; 95% CI: –0.11 to 0.01).

Conclusion

Core stability training does not produce significant improvements in sprint speed over 20 and 30 m in amateur soccer players. It is recommended to prioritize speed- and power-specific strategies to optimize performance in short-duration efforts.
