Jumping and balance in young gymnasts
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how jumping, balance, strength, flexibility, and foot shape work together in young gymnasts (ages 7-12). It aims to help understand and improve training and prevent injuries.
