Summary

This study compared high intensity and eccentric resistance training in 40 female school basketball players aged 13-18. Over 8 weeks, one group did high intensity training starting at 50% of their max lift, while the other did eccentric training. Researchers measured squat strength, vertical jump, and balance to see which method worked better.
