일반적인 스쿼트와 보수 볼에서의 스쿼트 운동이 다리의 근육량, 균형능력 및 좌·우 비대칭 지수에 미치는 영향 = Effects of General Squat and BOSU Squat Exercises on Muscle Mass, Balance, and Asymmetry Index of the Right and Left Legs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aimed to examine the effects of general squat and BOSU squat e xercises on leg muscle mass, balance ability, and asymmetry index by rando mly assigning fourteen healthy male college students into a squat exercise gr oup (SEG, n=7) and a BOSU squat exercise group (BEG, n=7), conducting a n eight-week program three times per week for 40 minutes per session, and measuring muscle mass, static and dynamic balance, and asymmetry index of both legs before and after the intervention; the results showed no significant interaction effects between group and time for muscle mass, static balance, or asymmetry index (p>.05), whereas dynamic balance demonstrated a signifi cant main effect of time (p<.05), with post-hoc analyses revealing that balan ce in the anterior (A), posterior-lateral (PL), and posterior-medial (PM) directi ons significantly improved after exercise in both groups (p<.001), although n o significant differences were observed between groups (p>.05), confirming t hat both general squat and BOSU squat exercises are effective for improving dynamic balance but do not differ in their effects on leg muscle mass, static balance, or asymmetry index.
