First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether doing squats on one leg or both legs works better for improving jumping and sprinting in elite youth futsal players. Seventeen players did six weeks of supervised squat training twice a week, while continuing their regular futsal practice. Researchers measured jump height, sprint time, and leg strength to see which squat method gave better results.
