Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether doing squats on one leg or both legs works better for improving jumping and sprinting in elite youth futsal players. Seventeen players did six weeks of supervised squat training twice a week, while continuing their regular futsal practice. Researchers measured jump height, sprint time, and leg strength to see which squat method gave better results.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Velocity-based squat training (unilateral or bilateral)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help coaches choose the best squat type to improve jump height and sprint speed in young futsal players.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (17 players) in one specific sport, so results may not apply to other athletes or settings. It only lasted six weeks.
