Gymnasts' secret weapon? study probes jump, balance, and foot power
NCT ID NCT07169812
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how jumping ability, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, and foot shape are related in artistic gymnasts aged 7 to 12. Researchers will measure these traits in 25 gymnasts without any treatment or exercise program. The goal is to better understand how these factors affect performance and injury risk, which could help design safer training routines.
