The effect of resistance band exercises on motor skills in female gymnasts.
Article in BMC sports science, medicine & rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn gymnastics, where repetitive loading, sudden movements, and high-effort techniques are common, the use of adjustable elastic bands, tailored to individual differences, can safely support children's motor development. Therefore, in our study, we examined the effects of elastic resistance band (ERB) exercises on motor children in gymnasts aged 8-12 years.
methodsThe study group consisted of girl children who had been actively practicing gymnastics for 3 years. A quantitative pre- and post-test control group experimental design, a type of experimental study, was used in the study. Participants were divided into 2 groups (the Elastic Resistance Band Group (ERBG) (n:11, year 10 ± 0.8) and the Control Group (CG) (n:10, year 10 ± 0.45). Both groups continued their routine gymnastics training three days a week for six weeks, but the ERBG underwent a 45-minute Resistance Band Exercise Program in addition to their gymnastics training. Physical measurements (height, weight, Body Mass Index) and motor tests (muscle power, flexibility, strength, balance, 20 m sprint) were administered to the groups as Pretests and Posttests.
resultsThe results showed no statistically significant differences between the ERBG and CG Pretest values. Significant differences were detected in the ERBG in pre- and Posttest flexibility, right and left foot balance, muscle power, and back strength values. In the CG group, there were no differences in any parameters except for left foot balance values.
conclusionsERBG were found to be effective in improving motor skills in gymnastics. We recommend adding ERB exercises to gymnastics training to contribute to the development of motor skills.
