- Registration Number
- NCT02043275
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Manitoba
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if jump landing mechanics in young female athletes can be improved with a resistance training intervention.
- Detailed Description
After initial baseline testing, athletes were randomly selected to receive upper body (control group) or lower body (intervention group) resistance training. Athletes attended supervised training sessions twice per week for 12 weeks, after which they were re-tested.
