Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Swiss ball; Swiss ball practice can create an unstable environment and play an important role in promoting the development of muscle function and joint stability. It can effectively train the core muscles. Swiss ball practice will be involved in intermediate level training to develop participants' stability and muscle endurance。	Device: Core training; Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time
EXPERIMENTAL: Kettlebell; Kettlebell training can strengthen the anti rotation ability of the trunk. For example, Kettlebell training has many actions like kettlebell swing. This movement is easy to cause imbalance in the human body, so they can further exercise the "trunk stability" and "anti rotation" ability required by athletes.	Device: Core training; Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time
EXPERIMENTAL: Barbell; Barbell is a commonly used and multifunctional strength training instrument. It is usually used as the main instrument to develop the maximum muscle strength and muscle explosiveness. Therefore, this study will involve barbell practice in upper intermediate training and advanced level training	Device: Core training; Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time
EXPERIMENTAL: Medicine balls; Medicine balls are often used to assist patients in injury recovery, rehabilitation and strength training, and play an important role in the field of sports medicine. Its special design and construction make training more functional and in line with the movement chain theory, such as throwing training, so the medicine ball is often used in explosive force and core training. Therefore, this study will involve medicine balls practice in upper intermediate training and advanced level training	Device: Core training; Core training lasts for 12 weeks, three times a week, one hour each time

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The Star Excursion Balance Test	Before the SEBT can be performed, four strips of athletic tape will need to be cut to a length of 6-8 feet each. Two pieces will be used to form a'+', with the other two being placed over top to form an'x'so that a star shape is formed. It is important that all lines are separated from each other by a 45°angle.The goal of the SEBT is to maintain single leg stance on one leg standing in the centre of the star while reaching as far as possible with the contralateral leg. When using the right foot as the reaching foot, and the left leg to balance, the athlete should complete the circuit in a clockwise fashion. When balancing on the right leg, the athlete should perform the circuit in an anti-clockwise fashion.After they have completed a full circuit with each foot, a total of three times per leg. The test administrator should have recorded the reach distance of each successful attempt, with a pencil, in order to calculate the athlete's SEBT score after the test.	week 1
