MUSCLE STRENGTH

This study compares two balance-training programs for older adults: interactive video games (exergaming) using Xbox Kinect and the standard Otago exercise program. Thirty-six adults aged 55 and older will participate in 6 weeks of supervised sessions. The goal is to see which app…

This study looks at whether training one leg with light weights and a blood pressure cuff can also make the other leg stronger in older women. Researchers will measure muscle strength, size, and mobility in 32 participants. The goal is to find a safe, low-stress way for seniors t…

This study looks at whether doing short bursts of push-ups and planks throughout the day (called 'exercise snacks') can improve upper body strength and endurance in graduate students. 50 healthy students who don't currently do upper body training will be split into three groups: …

This small study looks at whether drinking beetroot juice can improve grip strength and change how forearm muscles work during exercise. Eight healthy volunteers will have their muscle activity measured before and after drinking beetroot juice. The goal is to learn more about how…

This study looks at whether using a digital device to measure muscle strength can help university students who are addicted to technology become more physically active. Researchers will test muscle strength with a special digital tool and track activity levels with a questionnair…

This study looks at whether tissue flossing—wrapping an elastic band around a limb—can safely and reliably restrict blood flow during exercise, similar to costly blood flow restriction devices. Researchers will measure blood flow, muscle strength, and comfort in 34 healthy adults…
