A few bouncy hops might instantly improve your jump — a study puts it to the test
NCT ID NCT07722273
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a short burst of pogo jumps — three sets of eight maximal hops — can immediately improve how high adolescent basketball players can jump. Fifteen male players will perform either the pogo-jump routine or a light walk, then measure their vertical jump height. The goal is to see if this simple warm-up can temporarily boost explosive leg power.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a low-volume bilateral pogo jump protocol (3 sets of 8 jumps)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this simple warm-up technique could offer coaches a quick way to boost explosive leg power before games or practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The effect, if any, is likely small and short-lived.
