Bigger legs, better balance? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07365605
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 150 moderately active young men to see if leg muscle mass is linked to balance. Researchers measured muscle mass with a body scan and tested balance by having participants stand still on a platform. The goal was to understand which muscle measurements best predict good balance, which could help design better training or injury prevention programs.
