NCT ID NCT07639190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a short, low-intensity core warm-up could improve football skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting in 24 male youth players aged 15-16. Each player tried both a standard warm-up and a core-focused warm-up in one session. The goal was to see if the core warm-up made a difference and to help plan a larger future study.
