Flying High: Isometric Strength Training Increases Time of Flight in Junior Elite Trampoline Gymnasts.
Article in European journal of sport science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a 6-week isometric training intervention on time of flight (ToF) in elite youth level gymnasts. Fourteen nationally elite youth gymnasts (10 females and 4 males; age = 15 ± 2 years; mass = 55.0 ± 8.2 kg and stature = 163.7 ± 6.5 cm) were recruited. Seven gymnasts in the intervention (INT) group performed a 6-week isometric squat strength-training programme, replacing heavy maximal lower limb exercises with three isometric exercises. Seven gymnasts in the control (CON) group performed a standardised strength programme. All gymnasts performed habitual trampoline training. Pre- and post-testing included cycling peak power output, isometric strength, countermovement jumps and 20-maximum ToF jump tests. Changes in ToF were greater for the INT group (+0.83 s; 2.8%) compared to the CON group (+0.06 s; +0.2%), with a significant group × time interaction effect on ToF (p = 0.021). The change in isometric squat peak force at 150° in the INT group (+379 N; 22.4%) was different to the change in the CON group (+78 N; 5.0%), with a significant group × time interaction effect (p = 0.032). The isometric intervention provided a sport-specific training stimulus that was better than traditional heavy maximal resistance training alone for improving isometric strength and ToF in elite trampoline gymnasts.
