Chronic Effects of a Dynamic Stretching and Core Stability Exercise Protocol on Physical Performance in U-16 Volleyball Players.

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
backgroundVolleyball requires explosive jumps, agility, and upper and lower limb coordination. Dynamic stretching (DS) and core stability (CS) protocols are often used separately in training sessions, but little is known about their combined effects on the performance in adolescent players. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a 12-week integrated DS and CS program (StretCor), in addition to standard training, on physical performance in U-16 volleyball players.
methodsTwenty-one volunteer players (15.1 ± 0.6 years) were randomly assigned to the Intervention Group (IG; n = 12) or Control Group (CG; n = 9). IG performed the StretCor protocol four times a week for twelve weeks in addition to standard volleyball training; CG continued standard volleyball training. Physical performance assessment included Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Vertec jump with run-up, isometric shoulder strength (ASH-I), dynamic balance (mSEBT), and agility (

conclusionsThe present study suggests that a 12 weeks of StretCor protocol training improves jump performance, agility, dynamic balance, and upper limb strength in U-16 volleyball players. These findings also support that StretCor protocol may be beneficial for the performance when incorporated into regular training programs for adolescent athletes.
