Sitting too much? new study tests balance training for sedentary women
NCT ID NCT07593950
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special exercise program that combines trunk stabilization with balance tasks can improve balance and muscle control in sedentary adult women. Researchers will measure balance with simple tests like standing on one leg and a timed walk. The goal is to see if this training helps reduce fall risk and improve daily movement in people who sit a lot.
