First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special flywheel training machine improves how quickly soccer players can change direction, compared to standard weight training. Twenty-two elite male players did either flywheel or traditional exercises twice a week for 8 weeks. Researchers measured their sprint times and agility to see which training worked better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Flywheel resistance training and traditional resistance training
What this could lead to
If flywheel training proves better, it could give coaches a new way to boost agility and speed in athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 22 elite male soccer players, so results may not apply to other groups. The difference between training methods might be small.
