The effects of resistance band training on strength, vertical jump and sprint performance in young male basketball players: a randomised controlled trial.

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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate the effects of a six-week resistance band training programme on strength, vertical jump and sprint performance in young male basketball players.
methodsThe study employed a pre-test-post-test experimental design with a control group. Twenty male basketball players (age: 16.35 ± 0.67 years; height: 177.95 ± 8.10 cm; body weight: 70.52 ± 10.69 kg) were randomly assigned to two groups (experimental, n = 10; and control, n = 10). The experimental group underwent a six-week resistance band training programme in addition to their basketball training, whilst the control group continued with their routine basketball training only. The players underwent testing for leg strength, back strength, vertical jump height, 30-metre sprint performance and handgrip strength before and after the six-week intervention. Data meeting the assumptions of normality were analysed using Repeated Measures ANOVA.

conclusionsIn conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that a six-week resistance band training programme may improve leg strength, back strength, dominant-hand grip strength and vertical jump performance in young male basketball players. No significant improvements were observed in non-dominant hand grip strength or 30-m sprint performance. Overall, these findings indicate that resistance band training may represent a practical, low-cost and feasible strategy for supporting the development of strength- and power-related performance during the in-season period in young male basketball players.
