NCT ID NCT07096492
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether strength training or plyometric (jump) training improves 50-meter sprint swimming more in youth athletes. 18 swimmers aged 10-17 did one of the two extra workouts twice a week for 8 weeks. Researchers measured swim times and stroke technique before and after to see which training works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help coaches choose better training methods to improve sprint swimming performance in young athletes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to all swimmers. The training is safe but may not lead to major performance gains.
