Comparing two squat intensities for strength in young women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing bodyweight squats (stopping when you lose 15% vs 30% of your speed) to see which is better for building leg strength and endurance in young women who are not very active. It may help find a simple, safe way to improve fitness at home.
