Knee angle key to better balance? new study tests isometric exercises
NCT ID NCT07207135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how doing isometric exercises (holding a muscle still) at different knee angles affects balance, body awareness, and daily movements in healthy adults. Thirty people aged 18-26 did an 8-week training program. The goal was to find which knee angles work best for improving muscle control, which could help design better rehab and training plans.
