Development and cross-validation of LMS-based normative reference standards and health benefits zones for muscular strength among adolescents by age and sex
This study provides the first LMS-based, age- and sex-specific normative reference standards and HBZs for muscular strength among Pakistani adolescents. These standards offer a population-relevant tool for fitness assessment, enable early identification of youth at risk of low muscular strength, and support targeted interventions to enhance strength development and overall physical health in school-aged populations.
