The muscles of the trunk and diaphragm play an important role in maintaining stability, posture, and movement control during sports activities.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of core stability training combined with balloon breathing exercises on dynamic balance, hop performance, and core endurance in professional football players. Balloon breathing exercises are designed to improve diaphragmatic breathing and trunk muscle activation.\n\nEligible football players will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive core stability training combined with balloon breathing exercises along with regular football training, while the other group will receive core stability training with regular football training only. The intervention will be performed three times per week for eight weeks under the supervision of a physiotherapist.\n\nOutcome measures, including dynamic balance, hop performances, core endurance, and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), will be assessed at baseline, during the intervention, at the end of the program, and at a three-month follow-up. The findings of this study may help improve training strategies aimed at enhancing performance and reducing injury risk in football players.",[70],"Dynamic Balance, Hop Performance and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) in Professional Football Players",[72,73,74],"Dynamic balance","Diaphragmatic breathing","Core stability","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-28",{"date":78,"type":79},"2026-02-04","ACTUAL",{"date":81,"type":64},"2026-02",{"date":83,"type":64},"2026-08",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
