First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether 12 sessions of horizontally oriented plyometric training (jumping and explosive exercises) over six weeks could improve sprint performance in 9 early-adolescent male track-and-field athletes. The researchers measured sprint times and movement patterns before and after training. The goal was to see if this type of training, done in a low-resource community setting, could help young athletes run faster.
