Effect of Prancing and Galloping Drills on Fitness and Ankle Joint Stability in Volleyball Players: A Randomized Trial.
Trial report in Journal of foot and ankle research, 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
introductionVolleyball is a sport that requires rapid changes in movements and high-intensity actions and skills. Ankle stability is a key factor in preventing injuries and enhance performance in volleyball players. This study evaluated the effects of prancing and galloping drills on ankle stability, agility, and fitness parameters in volleyball players.
methodsForty-two male volleyball players (mean age 23.67 ± 3.15 years) were randomly assigned to the prancing and galloping drills (POGO) training (PGT, n = 21) or conventional training (CT, n = 21) group. Over 6 weeks, the experimental group performed prancing and galloping drills, whereas the control group continued their routine warm-up. Outcome measures included ankle stability (Prokin system), vertical jump height (VJH), agility (CODAT), endurance (Cooper test), and dynamic balance (SEBT), assessed after implementing conventional and POGO drills.
resultsSignificant improvements were observed in both groups, but the POGO training group demonstrated larger effects. Notably, the POGO training group showed substantial improvements in ankle instability (right ankle: t = 4.09 and p < 0.001; left ankle: t = 5.04 and p < 0.001) and dynamic balance (SEBT Right A: t = -4.20 and p < 0.001; SEBT Left A: t = -4.35 and p < 0.001).
conclusionsPrancing and galloping drills effectively enhanced ankle stability and dynamic balance, offering a valuable addition to volleyball training programs for injury prevention and performance enhancement.
