| Summary: | Background: Recreational athletes often lack access to specialized strength training as kettlebell workouts on abdominal muscle strength can provide valuable insights
Objective: to determine the effectiveness of a Kettlebell training program in improving abdominal muscle strength among recreational athletes.
Method: A RCT was conducted on n=40 recreational athletes without history of neuromuscular injury in the last six months. Participants were randomly assigned into two Experimental Group (n=20) engaged in kettlebell training and Control Group (n=20) maintained their usual routine without any structured fitness training Abdominal strength was measured before and after the 12-week period using a seven-stage abdominal muscle strength test. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Result: The mean age of 21.73±1.78 years and Body Mass Index (BMI) was 20.18±0.68 kg/m². The between-group comparison at post-test revealed a statistically significant difference (p=0.007), with a moderate effect size (r=0.425), indicating that the Kettlebell training had a meaningful impact on abdominal muscle strength.
Conclusion: The study indicates that Kettlebell training is an effective method for improving abdominal muscle strength. |
