One-leg or two-leg warm-up for better volleyball jumps
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
