Jumping back to strength: plyometrics tested for burn recovery in kids
NCT ID NCT07590557
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week program of supervised jumping and plyometric exercises could help children aged 10-18 recover leg strength and power after severe burns. 62 participants were split into two groups: one did the plyometric program, the other did standard exercises. The goal was to see if the jumping exercises led to better muscle strength and functional performance.
