Jumping for science: plyometric workouts put to the test
NCT ID NCT07356193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether lower body plyometric exercises (like jump squats and box jumps) cause muscle damage in male college volleyball players. Sixty-two players did either plyometric training plus routine practice or just routine practice for eight weeks. Researchers measured blood markers of muscle injury to see if the training was safe.
