First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding an 8-week plyometric training programme to regular football practice improves sprint, jump, and agility in 14-16 year old male recreational players. Twenty-eight participants were split into two groups: one did plyometric exercises plus routine training, the other only routine training. Researchers measured changes in sprint time, jump height, and agility tests to see if the extra training made a difference.
