Summary

This study looked at whether strength training or plyometric (jump) training improves 50-meter sprint swimming more in youth athletes. 18 swimmers aged 10-17 did one of the two extra workouts twice a week for 8 weeks. Researchers measured swim times and stroke technique before and after to see which training works better.
