Squat surface showdown: does unstable ground boost balance?
NCT ID NCT07341555
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing 30 squats on an unstable surface (like a wobble board) improves balance and coordination more than squats on a stable floor. 42 healthy adults aged 18-35 participated. Researchers measured postural stability, leg coordination, and dynamic balance right after the squats. The goal was to understand how surface stability affects immediate balance improvements.
