ABSTRACT Introduction: Long-distance runners cannot achieve training effects by relying only on speed endurance training. Core training exercises significantly improve stability, allowing learning of techniques with superior movement efficiency. Several factors that affect the development of athletes’ special skills are considered, highlighting their main strengths and working on intermediate characteristics. Objective: Verify the impacts of core training on athletes’ performance in long-distance running. Methods: This paper had 18 middle-distance runners as volunteers for the research. The athletes’ physical conditioning and athletic performance before and after training were examined. Statistical analyses on the indicators of the experimental and control groups were analyzed based on the T-test. Results: There were significant differences in endurance, core muscle elasticity, core strength, explosive power, and stability (P<0.05); the results showed that the differences in core stability between the left and right legs of the experimental group were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Core strength exercise is more conducive to exercising a myocardial group in medium and long-distance exercise than conventional strength exercise. Core strength exercises can compensate for a lack of regular strength. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
