One-leg or two-leg warm-up for better volleyball jumps
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing a simple leg exercise (one leg at a time or both together) before a jump can help volleyball players jump higher. If you are a healthy, trained volleyball player, this could show you a better way to warm up.
