First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding core exercises to warm-ups helps amateur female basketball players land more safely from jumps. 85 players from different teams either did core training or stuck to their usual warm-up for 8 weeks. Researchers measured landing errors and jump height before, right after, and 3 months later to see if the training made a difference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple core exercises during warm-ups reduce landing errors and potentially lower injury risk in female basketball players.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 85 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The study measures movement errors, not actual injury rates, so benefits are uncertain.
