Lower-limb muscle endurance

no changein humans1

1 study

  1. Acupunch exercise has no effect on lower-limb muscle endurance in humans (p = 0.557).

    “except for the lower-limb muscle endurance (p = 0.557).”

Physical fitness

upin humans1

1 study

  1. Acupunch exercise improves physical fitness in humans (p < 0.001).

    “The intervention group had significantly better physical fitness and positive changes in frailty status than the control group (all p < 0.001)”
