NCT ID NCT07457398
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how making the calf muscle tired affects its stiffness and how high people can jump. 28 healthy young adults did a calf exercise until they felt very tired. Their muscle stiffness and jump height were measured right after and again 24 hours later. The goal was to understand how muscle fatigue changes performance and recovery.
