Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Core strength measured using a standardized core strength test (e.g., plank hold duration, sit-up count, etc.) at a pretest (before the 6-week training period) and posttest (after the 6-week training period)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The following secondary outcome measures are assessed at a pretest and posttest: 1. The number of crunches performed correctly in 30 seconds measured using data collected by counting the number of correct crunches at a pretest and posttest 2. Balance duration measured using the Flamingo Balance Test (total balance time in one minute) 3. Vertical jump height measured using the Vertical Jump Test (highest score recorded) 4. Standing long jump distance measured using the Standing Long Jump Test (highest score recorded) 5. Pro-agility performance measured using the Pro-Agility Test (best score out of 3 test results)	—
