Can a quick stretch after warming up make basketball players jump higher?
NCT ID NCT07722143
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three warm-up routines in male amateur basketball players aged 15–25: a standard dynamic warm-up alone, or the same warm-up followed by either classical or short-duration PNF stretching. Researchers measure jump height, sprint time, agility, flexibility, and balance right after the warm-up and again 15 minutes later. The goal is to see whether a brief self-administered stretch can improve flexibility without hurting explosive performance.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- warm-up protocols: standard dynamic warm-up, dynamic warm-up plus classical PNF stretching, or dynamic warm-up plus short-duration self-administered PNF stretching
- What this could lead to
- If one warm-up method proves superior, it could help coaches and athletes choose a routine that boosts performance without sacrificing flexibility.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-session study in male amateur players only, so results may not apply to other athletes or real-game conditions.
