Summary

This study tests whether a six-week program of unilateral (one-leg) exercises can reduce strength differences between the legs in competitive female handball players aged 18-25. Participants either add the training to their regular handball practice or continue as usual. The goal is to see if this approach improves sprinting, jumping, and agility while lowering injury risk.

What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training requires supervision and may not suit all athletes.
