This observational study looks at how leg muscle mass relates to muscle strength, aerobic fitness, anaerobic power, and jumping ability in 235 healthy young adults. Participants will undergo body composition analysis and several physical tests. The goal is to better understand th…

This study looks at how leg muscle mass relates to balance in 150 moderately active young men aged 20-30. Researchers will measure muscle mass with a body scan and test balance using a special platform. The goal is to see if having more leg muscle relative to body weight helps wi…

This study looks at how leg muscle strength relates to short-burst exercise performance in 80 healthy, active men aged 20-30. Participants will have their body composition measured, leg strength tested, and perform a 30-second cycling test. The goal is to better understand how st…

This study looks at whether nurses' attitudes about safety in a day surgery unit influence how safe patients feel during their procedure. About 103 nurses and 103 patients having surgery under local anesthesia will answer surveys. The goal is to understand this connection and imp…
