Summary

This study looks at whether adding 180-degree turns to repeated sprints changes performance, perceived effort, and heart rate in adolescent female basketball players. Twenty players will do three different sprint routines — straight line, one turn, and two turns — in random order. Researchers will measure sprint times, heart rate, blood pressure, and how hard the players feel they are working.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help coaches design better training drills that mimic game demands.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in a specific group (adolescent female basketball players), so findings may not apply broadly.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
