Effects of High and Low Training Volume with the Nordic Hamstring Exercise on Hamstring Strength, Jump Height, and Sprint Performance in Female Football Players: A Randomised Trial

Table 2

Pre- and post-test results in the countermovement jump test and 40 m sprint for the high- (N = 16) and low-volume groups (N = 14). Two participants are missing because they did not perform the test or there was a measurement error. Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
