Description: This study will use a cross-sectional observational design to examine the relationship between lower-limb muscle mass and balance performance in moderately physically active young men. Participants will complete standardized body composition assessments and a center-of-pressure-based static balance test during a single laboratory visit. Based on sway path length values, participants will be classified into lower and higher balance performance groups. Comparisons of muscle mass indicators, including absolute and normalized measures, will be conducted between balance-performance-based groups. In addition, associations between muscle mass variables and balance outcomes will be analyzed across the full sample to evaluate the relative explanatory value of different muscle mass indicators. The study plan is intended to determine whether normalized lower-limb muscle mass measures provide greater sensitivity for explaining balance performance differences than absolute muscle mass measures.
