Summary

This study will examine the interaction between lower-limb muscle mass and balance performance in moderately physically active young men. Body composition parameters, including appendicular skeletal muscle mass, leg muscle mass, and the ratio of lower-limb muscle mass to body weight (LMM/BW), will be assessed using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Balance performance will be evaluated using a center-of-pressure-based static balance test, with classifications derived from sway path length and sway area parameters.

Participants will be grouped according to balance performance metrics, and muscle mass indicators will be compared between balance-based groups. Correlation analyses will also be conducted to explore associations between muscle mass variables and balance outcomes across the entire sample. It is anticipated that normalized muscle mass indicators, particularly LMM/BW, will demonstrate greater discriminative sensitivity than absolute muscle mass measures in relation to balance performance. The findings are expected to contribute to a more precise understanding of how relative lower-limb muscular capacity relates to postural control in young, physically active populations.
