TRX workouts ease gut troubles in teen swimmers
NCT ID NCT07464509
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether an 8-week TRX exercise program could improve bowel habits and reduce stomach issues in competitive male swimmers aged 9 to 13. Thirty-two young athletes were split into two groups: one did TRX training plus swimming, the other only swam. Researchers measured changes in stool form and digestive symptoms before and after the program. The goal was to see if adding resistance training helps young swimmers feel better and have healthier digestion.
