Lower-limb muscle mass and performance in young adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study will recruit recreationally active young adults and measure body composition, leg muscle mass, and leg strength using isokinetic and isometric tests. Participants will undergo an aerobic fitness test (VO2 max), an anaerobic power test (Wingate), and a countermovement jump assessment. The goal is to understand how leg muscle mass influences various performance metrics and whether there are sex-based differences. Findings could inform exercise prescription and performance assessment in sports and health contexts.
