This study looked at whether an 8-week program of corrective exercises could improve knee alignment and jumping mechanics in 23 female volleyball players aged 14-17. Half did the exercises, half kept their normal training. The goal was to see if these exercises could lower the ri…

This trial tests whether a 6-week movement education program can improve speed, jumping ability, and flexibility in children aged 6 to 9. Participants attend 60-minute sessions twice a week, focusing on basic gymnastics and movement skills. Researchers measure sprint time, long j…

This trial tests whether two special diets can ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition causing abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Adults aged 19-64 with IBS will follow either a low-FODMAP diet or a combined gluten-free and lactose-free diet for six…

This trial tests whether adding kinesio taping to a standard exercise program helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome more than exercise alone. Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Participants wil…

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear can reduce menstrual pain, depression, and anxiety in young women with primary dysmenorrhea (painful periods without an underlying condition). Participants receive either real or sham stimula…

This study looked at whether a 12-week core muscle training program could help teenage swimmers with limb amputations improve their trunk endurance and 50-meter freestyle time. Thirty swimmers were split into two groups: one did core training plus their usual swim practice, the o…

This study tested whether stimulating a nerve in the ear (taVNS) can help people with fibromyalgia feel better and exercise more. 90 adults with fibromyalgia were split into three groups: one-sided stimulation, both ears, or just a home exercise program. Over two weeks, researche…

This study tested whether a noninvasive device that stimulates a nerve in the ear (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) can help young athletes recover more quickly after sports activity. Forty healthy amateur football players aged 18-25 participated. The researchers measured …

This study tested whether a 6-week exercise program done via video calls could help people with long-term neck pain. Fifty adults with neck pain for at least 3 months took part. They did guided exercises online four times a week. Researchers measured pain, disability, sleep quali…

Researchers surveyed undergraduate sports science students in Turkey to explore how learning styles relate to academic achievement, academic confidence, and perceptions of the educational environment. Participants completed a one-time online questionnaire that included the Kolb L…

This trial tests two once-weekly sprint training programs in male amateur soccer players during the competitive season. One group performs straight 40-meter sprints, while another does soccer-specific sprints with ball work and technical actions. Researchers measure sprint time, …

This study tests whether adding a weighted vest during plyometric warm-up exercises improves vertical jump height more than doing the same exercises without extra weight. Young male soccer players will perform both weighted and unweighted conditioning sessions, with jump performa…

This study investigates whether smartphone addiction is linked to reduced pinch strength, increased muscle stiffness, and hand or wrist pain in young adults. Researchers will measure thumb muscle stiffness and grip strength in 134 participants aged 18 to 25 who are heavy smartpho…

This study looks at whether core endurance and scapular control are linked to shoulder pain in adolescent female volleyball players aged 14 to 18. Participants will undergo tests for pain intensity, scapular movement, and trunk muscle endurance. The goal is to better understand f…

This observational study compares functional movement, dynamic balance, and lower body strength between 144 professional and amateur male soccer players. Participants undergo standardized tests like the Functional Movement Screen, Y-Balance Test, and jump and strength assessments…

This study looks at whether the ratio of a person's index finger to ring finger (2D:4D)—a marker of prenatal hormone exposure—relates to mental toughness in amateur soccer players. Researchers measured finger lengths and surveyed 270 players about their mental resilience. The goa…

This study looks at how young male basketball players (ages 12-18) perform lower-body movements like jumping and agility tests. Researchers use artificial intelligence to analyze performance data and identify patterns that might signal a higher risk of injury. The goal is to help…

This study investigates whether coordination-based exercise improves memory and attention in children aged 10 to 12 more than aerobic exercise. Seventy-eight healthy children are randomly assigned to aerobic training, coordination training, or their usual school activities for 14…

This study looked at how different core exercises affect serve and spike speed in elite young male volleyball players aged 11-14. Thirty-one players did either static (holding positions) or dynamic (moving) core exercises for six weeks. The goal was to see which type improves bal…

This completed study looked at 18 trained young male soccer players to see which muscle test best detects fatigue after a simulated soccer game. Players did jumping and strength tests before, right after, and 24 and 48 hours after the simulated activity. The goal was to find the …

This study looked at how two different training methods—short, intense sprints and small-sided games—affect the heart and lung fitness of teenage football players. Twenty-four boys aged 16-17 took part in an 8-week program. The goal was to see which method improved their body's a…

This study looked at 24 young female athletes to see if a simple measurement called the Q angle (taken while standing still) can predict how they land during sports. The goal was to find an easy way to screen for injury risk. Researchers measured the Q angle and compared it to la…
