Background: Explosive strength is essential for rhythmic gymnasts’ performance. It has been suggested that core stability (CS) and plyometric training can enhance athletes’ explosive strength. Nevertheless, there is some uncertainty about the effects of integrated core and plyometric training (CPT) programs on rhythmic gymnastics (RG) performances.

Hypoxaemia modifies microRNA expression, particularly, extracellular vesicles microRNAs which are involved in the progression of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and cancer. We aim to evaluate extracellular vesicle miRNAs among patients with severe obesity with and without OSA and the effect of OSA and severe obesity treatment: continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bariatric surgery.

Nevertheless, the effects of an integrated core and plyometric training program on rhythmic gymnastics (RG) performance are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an integrated functional CPT program on young rhythmics gymnasts' postural performance.
