Can tempo-based strength periodization training improve performance in coastal rowers? A 14-week longitudinal study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 14-week tempo-based strength periodization training program on muscle strength, power, and sport-specific performance in coastal rowers. Design: A single-group pre-post study design was implemented. Method: Twelve well-trained coastal rowers (age 20 ± 2.34 years; height 182.42 ± 4.83 cm; weight 79.25 ± 10.17 kg; training experience 6.33 ± 2.81 years) underwent a 14-week periodized training program, which consisted of four phases: hypertrophy, transition, maximal strength, and tapering. Three testing time points were set: baseline (T1), post-hypertrophy (T2), and post-intervention (T3). Assessments included maximal strength (1-repetition maximum squat, bench press, bench pull, deadlift), power (countermovement jump height and peak power), and sport-specific performance tests (50 m sprint, 500 m ergometer, and composite test: 50 m sprint + 750 m ergometer + 50 m sprint). Results: Significant improvements were observed from T1 to T3 in maximal strength (squat: Conclusions: A 14-week tempo-based strength periodization program was associated with significant improvements in muscle strength, countermovement jump (CMJ) height, and sport-specific performance in coastal rowers, suggesting potential utility in integrating structured tempo training into periodized strength plans for power-dependent water sports athletes.
