The Claim
In young female aerobic gymnasts aged 16 years with 6 years of training experience, increasing weekly training frequency from 4 to 6 sessions over two consecutive weeks is associated with a significant decline in neuromuscular power, as evidenced by approximately 11% reductions in countermovement jump peak power and 15% reductions in squat jump peak power, compared to those who maintain the standard 4-session training frequency, indicating impaired explosive strength capacity during periods of congested training.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When young female gymnasts who train regularly add extra workouts for two weeks straight, they might lose some of their explosive jumping power compared to sticking to their normal routine.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that when young female gymnasts trained more often for two weeks, their jumping power went down, which matches the claim.
