Jump to win: study tests if plyometric training boosts sprint performance
NCT ID NCT07488000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 42 sprinters to see if doing plyometric exercises (like jumps) at least twice a week during winter preseason improved their race times and reduced leg injuries. Participants reported their best times and any health problems online. The goal is to understand if this type of training is beneficial for sprinters.
