Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between core strength and knee proprioception in individuals at the master level. The study involved 50 participants, with an equal distribution of males and females. Core strength was measured using the plank test, while knee proprioception was assessed using a joint position sense test. The results of the study showed a significant positive correlation between core strength and knee proprioception, suggesting that individuals with greater core strength also exhibited better knee proprioception. The findings of this study have important implications for injury prevention and rehabilitation programs in individuals at the master level.
