NCT ID NCT07425288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether training just one leg can also improve strength, balance, and muscle size in the untrained leg. 47 sedentary women did either isokinetic or single-leg squat exercises on one leg. Results may help design better rehab programs for people who cannot move one limb.
