Levels of physical activity and its association with antigravity muscles.

This study was conducted to determine the association of physical activity levels with the strength of antigravity muscles in medical students of Isra University, Islamabad. An analytical cross sectional survey was conducted on 200 medical students of Isra University, Islamabad, aged between 17-25 years. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form 7 (IPAQ-SF-7) was used to determine the physical activity levels, while Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) was used for evaluating the strength of antigravity muscles. The mean age of the study participants was 21.27±1.784. Of the 200 participants, 155 (77.5%) were females and 45 (22.5%) were males. A significant association was found between physical activity levels and the antigravity muscles' strength (p<0.001). This study concluded that physical activity levels were significantly associated with the strength of the antigravity muscles in medical students.
