MUSCLE STRENGTH

This study compares two balance-training programs for adults aged 55 and older: interactive video games (exergaming using Xbox Kinect) versus standard Otago exercises. Over 6 weeks, 36 participants will do supervised sessions 3 times a week. The goal is to see which approach bett…

This study looks at whether a special low-load exercise method, called blood flow restriction training, can help older women build leg strength and muscle without heavy weights. Researchers will measure strength, muscle size, balance, and mobility in 32 women. The goal is to find…

This study looks at whether a digital device that measures muscle strength can give more accurate information about physical activity levels in university students who are addicted to technology. Researchers will use a digital dynamometer and a questionnaire to assess 140 student…

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. About 50 healthy students who haven't done upper body training in the last 3 months will be split …

This study looks at whether a simple elastic wrap (tissue flossing) can safely and reliably restrict blood flow in the arm, similar to costly blood flow restriction devices. Researchers will measure blood flow, muscle size, and discomfort in 34 healthy adults. The goal is to see …

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…
