Nordic exercise for young female pole vaulters
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of Nordic hamstring exercises—one with blood flow restriction and one without—to see which better helps elite young female pole vaulters strengthen their hamstrings and reduce injury risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a female pole vaulter between the ages of 12 and 18.
- You train at least 3 times per week and have been pole vaulting for at least 1 year.
- You are currently competing at a high level (elite).
- You have not had a leg muscle injury in the last 6 months or any hamstring surgery.
- You do not have any heart or blood flow problems that would make blood flow restriction training unsafe.

This trial tests whether a type of strength training that partly uses blood flow restriction can help older women build leg strength on one side, which may also benefit the other leg. It's for women who are generally healthy and have not had recent leg injuries or surgeries.
This study tests if adding blood flow restriction (using a cuff that limits blood flow) to a standard hamstring exercise helps elite teen athletes build strength and prevent injury. You would perform the Nordic Hamstring Exercise twice, once with and once without the cuff, so researchers can compare the effects.
This study looks at how soft tissue movement relates to physical function in people with different orthopedic conditions, including hamstring injuries, flatfoot, and elbow ligament reconstruction. It may help doctors better understand recovery and improve treatment.
This study compares two hamstring-strengthening programs to see which one works better for athletes. If you join, you'll do one of the training routines and help researchers find the best way to prevent hamstring injuries.
This study compares two ways to improve hamstring flexibility in men who are not very active: eccentric (lengthening) exercises vs. static stretching. If you have tight hamstrings and are a healthy university student, this trial may help you find which method works better.
This trial compares different training methods and a type of stimulation called SIS to see how they affect balance, movement, and strength in healthy, active adults.
