NCT ID NCT07690072

First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two 20-week strength training programs—linear and nonlinear periodization—in schoolchildren aged 12-13. The goal is to see which approach better improves motor performance, such as jumping, throwing, and agility. The programs are done three times a week during extracurricular sessions. Results could guide schools in choosing effective exercise programs for children.
