摘要
許多運動員會認為，下肢與上肢的肌力是展現力量的關鍵，往往忽略了核心肌群的訓練，其實核心肌群位於人的軀幹，當力量要從下肢傳遞至上肢時，核心肌群位於中心位置，它扮演著連結上下肢的重要角色。本文以文獻回顧的方式彙整出以下綱要：一、瞭解核心肌群的定義與功能；二、核心肌群與運動表現的相關性；三、探討核心肌群之訓練方法。經文獻回顧後，得知核心肌群為穩固人體軀幹的肌肉，當核心肌力增強時，不僅能使得軀幹穩定性增加，也能使運動(跑步、籃球、網球及高爾夫球)表現提升。經研究文獻證實，核心肌群的訓練方式，可使用徒手訓練，也能應用輔助工具如藥球、抗力球與懸吊系統，這些方法都是增強核心肌力的有效方式。本文彙整之內容，將可提供運動教練及未來研究者作為參考依據。

It is commonly believed that lower limb and upper limb muscle strength is the key to power performance. However, this belief often neglects critical core muscle training. The core muscle, located in the human trunk, is critical for passing power from the lower extremities to the upper limbs. The core muscle, in the center position of the human body, plays an important role that connects upper and lower limb. This article reviews post literatures and summarizes according to three subjects: (1) Definition and function of the core muscle. (2) Relevance of core muscle towards sport performance. (3) Exploration the training method for core muscles. This literature review finds that core muscle is the stable muscle for the human torso. When the core muscle strength increases, this increases trunk stability and enhances sports performance (running, basketball, tennis and golf). This literature review also explores past studies researching effective methods to enhance training methods of core muscle, including unarmed training or the further use of support tools such as Medicine ball, Swiss ball, and Suspension training. Content of this article will provide reference for future researchers and sports coaches.
