NCT ID NCT07351539
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding plyometric (jump) training to regular taekwondo practice helps young athletes improve balance, joint position sense, and explosive strength. Twenty athletes aged 15–18 were split into two groups: one did jump training three times a week for eight weeks, while the other only did regular taekwondo. The researchers measured balance, knee joint awareness, and jump performance before and after the training.
