NCT ID NCT06406764
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a 12-week jumping exercise program (plyometric training) affects power, speed, and agility in 38 sport-active boys aged 10 to 18. The researchers wanted to see if a boy's biological maturity changes how well the training works. Results may help coaches tailor training for young athletes.
