Toe position tweaks thigh muscle activity, study finds

NCT ID NCT07546851

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested 24 experienced athletes to see if turning the foot inward or outward during leg press changes how the inner thigh muscle (vastus medialis) contracts. Researchers measured muscle response with electrical stimulation before and after exercise. The goal was to understand how natural foot angle affects muscle activation, not to treat any disease.
