Tokyo, Sept. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062547) titled 'Effects of Wall-Supported Single-Leg Calf Raises on Lower-Leg Muscle Activity' on Sept. 1.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Self control

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Juntendo University

Condition: Condition - Healthy adult males aged 18-30 years Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to compare lower-leg muscle activity (medial gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor hallucis longus, and tibialis anterior) between wall-supported and conventional single-leg calf raises using surface electromyography, and to clarify the effects of wall support on muscle activation. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will perform 5 repetitions of single-leg heel-raise tasks under the following two conditions in a randomized order determined by a random number table Wall-supported heel-raise condition: Participants perform maximum single-leg heel raises on their dominant leg while maintaining contact of their heel, buttocks, and back against a wall. Conventional heel-raise condition: Participants face a wall and perform maximum single-leg heel raises on their dominant leg while lightly touching the wall with their fingertips solely for balance maintenance.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male Key inclusion criteria - Healthy males aged between 18 and 30 years at the time of providing informed consent Healthy adults with no difficulties in activities of daily living Individuals who received a full explanation of the study and provided written informed consent of their own free will Key exclusion criteria - Individuals with lower extremity injuries within the past 6 months Individuals with neuromuscular diseases that affect lower limb muscle strength generation Individuals with skin diseases, wounds, or inflammation at the electrode placement sites Individuals deemed unsuitable for participation by the principal investigator or sub-investigators Target Size - 46

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Preinitiation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 07 Month 24 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 09 Month 01 Day Last follow-up date - 2028 Year 03 Month 31 Day
