Exploring the interplay between body mass index and passive muscle properties in relation to grip strength and jump performance in female university students
The results of this study support the notion that the stiffness of the forearm muscles and Achilles tendon is correlated with BMI in young adult women. Furthermore, an increase in body fat percentage is linked to a decrease in mechanical properties and poorer muscle function.
