Studies involving pre-test\u2013post-test designs with experimental and control groups were recorded for analysis. A total of 49 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were included. This meta-analysis followed the PRISMA statement reporting guidelines. The CMA Ver. 2.0 statistical package was used to assess publication bias, calculate means and standard deviations, determine effect sizes and perform moderator analyses. The I\u00b2 statistic assessed heterogeneity between studies; 25 per cent, 50 per cent and 75 per cent cut-off values represent low, moderate and high levels, respectively. Due to anticipated clinical and methodological diversity across sports disciplines, participant competitive levels, and test protocols, a random-effects model was applied\n                      <jats:italic>a priori<\/jats:italic>\n                      for all pooled analyses across speed and jumping outcomes. All estimates are reported with corresponding 95 per cent confidence intervals (CI).

The overall effect size calculated for speed performance was 0.601, whilst the overall effect size for jumping performance was determined to be 0.489. These findings indicate that core training has a positive effect on both speed and jumping performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Core training is a useful complementary method for improving speed and jumping performance. Its effectiveness depends not only on training duration and sample size but also on exercise selection, intensity, frequency, athlete characteristics, and sport specificity.
