Jumping smarter: which exercise pattern boosts tennis performance?
NCT ID NCT07640724
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at two different ways of doing plyometric (jumping) exercises in 28 male teenage tennis players. One method used short bursts with brief rests (cluster-set), the other used longer sets with longer rests (traditional-set). The goal was to see which approach led to better jump height and reactive strength right after exercise. The results help coaches choose the best training style for improving explosive power on the court.
