The Claim
A 30% increase in weekly training load, achieved by increasing training session frequency from 4 to 6 sessions per week over a two-week period, is associated with a progressive decline in neuromuscular performance and increased landing forces in young female aerobic gymnasts aged 16 years, with the most pronounced changes observed after the second week, suggesting that the negative effects of congested training accumulate over time.
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 teenage girl gymnasts go from training 4 to 6 times a week for two weeks, their muscles and coordination get worse over time, especially in the second week — meaning piling on too much too fast might hurt their performance.

A 30% increase in weekly training load, achieved by increasing session frequency from 4 to 6 per week over two weeks, is associated with a progressive decline in neuromuscular performance and increased landing forces in young female aerobic gymnasts aged 16 years, with the largest changes occurring after the second week, indicating that the negative effects of congested training accumulate over time.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that when young female gymnasts trained more often over two weeks, their jumping power went down and their landing impact went up, especially by the second week—just like the claim says.
