Validating body measurements to predict muscle health in young adults
This study tests whether simple body measurements can accurately predict muscle health in healthy young adults. It may help develop easier ways to assess muscle function without complex equipment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9 (normal weight range).
- Your waist-to-hip ratio is below 0.95 (if male) or below 0.8 (if female).
- You are willing to avoid intense physical activity for 48 hours before certain sessions.
- If female, you have regular menstrual cycles (every 25 to 35 days) for the last 3 months.
- You exercise regularly, with a physical activity score of at least 24 on the Godin questionnaire.

This study tests a simple breath test to see how well your body uses protein from food to build muscle, across different ages and activity levels. It may help find easier ways to measure muscle health.
This study looks at how different types of protein and minerals are absorbed by the body. You will consume protein drinks or meals, and samples will help researchers understand how your body uses them.
This trial tests how different foods or diet patterns work together to help your body build more muscle protein. It’s designed for active, pre-menopausal women who are not pregnant and have regular cycles.
This study compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.
This study looks at how well plant-based diets meet the body's protein needs in different age groups. You'll follow a plant-based eating plan temporarily, and researchers will check your blood to see how your body responds.
This study looks at body composition (fat, muscle, and bone) in healthy adults aged 20-40 or over 70. It uses imaging and samples to learn more about body changes with age.
