Two Different Exercise Programs for Young Sailors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this interventional study, 26 adolescent sailors will be randomized to either hiking bench training alone or hiking bench training plus a structured land-based program focusing on strength, flexibility, balance, and dynamic warm-ups. The trial runs for 8 weeks and will measure outcomes such as hiking endurance, core endurance, EMG muscle activity, balance, and motor coordination. Assessments will help determine if the combined program offers benefits beyond hiking bench training alone and could inform future training and injury-prevention strategies for youth sailing.
