Teen tennis stars: does training frequency boost explosive power?
NCT ID NCT07398547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how often adolescent tennis players (ages 12-18) should do functional training to improve their explosive strength. Thirty players completed a six-week program with different training frequencies. Researchers measured jumps and strength to see which schedule worked best. The goal is to help young athletes train smarter and reduce injury risk.
