Resistance, Plyometric, and Combined Exercise Training in Children With Severe Burns
A study testing Traditional Resistance Training, Plyometric Training and Combined Resistance and Plyometric Training in people with Burns and Pediatric Burns, run by Qassim University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
Children who experience severe burns may continue to have reduced muscle strength, power, balance, and physical function after their wounds have healed. Exercise is an important part of burn rehabilitation, but it is unclear which type of training provides the greatest improvement. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Training-Specific Adaptations in Pediatric Burn Rehabilitation: A Clinical Trial Comparing Traditional Resistance, Plyometric, and Combined Training Modalities
Children who experience severe burns may continue to have reduced muscle strength, power, balance, and physical function after their wounds have healed. Exercise is an important part of burn rehabilitation, but it is unclear which type of training provides the greatest improvement.
This randomized study compared three exercise programs in children aged 10 to 17 years with burns affecting more than 30% of their total body surface area. Participants were assigned to traditional resistance training, plyometric training, or a program combining both approaches. Each group completed supervised exercise sessions three times per week for 8 weeks. Muscle strength, upper- and lower-body power, dynamic balance, and upper-limb stability were measured before and after the training period. The study aimed to determine which exercise approach was most effective for improving neuromuscular and functional performance during long-term pediatric burn rehabilitation.
Read the detailed description
Severe burn injuries can produce prolonged metabolic and muscular changes that contribute to loss of lean tissue, weakness, and reduced physical capacity in children. Although resistance exercise is commonly included in post-burn rehabilitation, the comparative effects of conventional strength training, plyometric exercise, and a combination of these approaches have not been adequately examined in this population.
This assessor-blinded, three-arm randomized trial evaluated training-specific changes in pediatric burn survivors receiving long-term rehabilitation. Before the formal intervention, participants completed a 2-week supervised familiarization period focused on safe movement technique and landing mechanics. They then undertook one of three 8-week programs: traditional resistance training, plyometric training, or combined resistance and plyometric training. The programs were matched for overall exercise volume and progressed gradually in intensity and complexity. All sessions were supervised by physical therapists.
Assessments were performed before training and 3 to 5 days after the final intervention session. The evaluation covered upper- and lower-body muscular power, isometric strength, handgrip performance, trunk function, dynamic balance, and upper-extremity stability. Outcome assessors remained unaware of group assignments. Post-intervention differences among the three groups were examined using analysis of covariance, with the corresponding baseline measurement included as a covariate. The study hypothesis was that all programs would improve neuromuscular performance, with the combined program producing broader improvements than either training method alone.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Traditional Resistance Training, Plyometric Training and Combined Resistance and Plyometric Training in people with Burns and Pediatric Burns, run by Qassim University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overhead Medicine Ball Throw (time frame: Week 0 before the intervention). The study lists 18 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
