Sažetak
Various types of core stability exercises have an important role in prevention and rehabilitation programmes of numerous injuries, including the injuries of hamstring muscles. This systematic review attempts to find out to what degree the core stability training can influence the changes in sagittal pelvic tilt and to what degree it could reduce the sprinting- and stretching-type of a hamstring injury. Given the functional interrelation of the pelvic tilt and the hamstring length, core stability training programme may potentially lead to changes in hamstring flexibility. Since some authors and trainers consider flexibility to be an injury risk factor, the test values for flexibility will also be presented.
A systematic literature review was conducted by the search of two electronic databases: Scopus and PubMed. The initial search identified a total of 492 articles, out of which seven studies were included in the qualitative analysis of this systematic review. High heterogeneity of the included studies is reflected in various positions and tests in which the pelvic tilt and flexibility were examined as well as different characteristics of the participants.
The analysis of the included studies suggests that core stability training is an effective method for better control of the pelvic tilt, which may contribute to the optimal relation of force and length of the hamstring and, consequentially, reduce the injury risk. However, given that only one study examines the pelvic tilt in a motion that can be related to hamstring injury, a larger number of such studies should be conducted. The implementation of such research would
provide more specific instructions and guidelines for the selection of core stability exercises for different sports as
well as define their intensity and volume. The results of the conducted studies reveal that core stability training leads
to better results in tests which assess hamstring flexibility. This improvement can be explained by more intensive activation of the deep stabilising muscle subsystem as well as an increase in proximal stiffness.
