PNF stretching for better jump and balance in basketball players
This trial tests whether a specific stretching technique called PNF (which helps improve flexibility and muscle control) can help basketball players jump higher and balance better. If you are a healthy, licensed basketball player aged 18–35, you may be able to join.
