Flywheel training boosts young Athletes' power?
NCT ID NCT07623499
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether adding flywheel inertial training to regular weightlifting helps youth athletes improve lower-limb power, trunk stability, and performance. Eighteen male athletes aged 13-17 took part, with one group doing extra flywheel exercises twice a week for 10 weeks. The researchers measured changes in lifts, jump height, and body position during lifts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- flywheel inertial training
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward better training methods to improve strength and performance in young athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, completed study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. It does not test a new drug or treatment for a disease.
