Core training boosts swim speed for amputee teens
NCT ID NCT07619963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 other only swam. The researchers measured swim times and core strength before and after the program to see if the extra training made a difference.
