Bands boost jumps? study tests new training for teen soccer stars
NCT ID NCT07367230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding elastic bands to jump exercises helps young male soccer players jump higher. Thirty-three players aged 14-15 did either band-resisted jumps, regular jumps, or their usual training for 6 weeks. The main goal was to see if the band group improved their jump height more than the others.
