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.
本研究旨在确定物理活动水平与巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡伊斯拉大学医学生抗重力肌肉力量之间的关联。在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡伊斯拉大学，对 200 名年龄在 17-25 岁之间的医学生进行了横断面分析调查。采用国际体力活动问卷-短表 7（IPAQ-SF-7）来确定体力活动水平，而手动肌肉测试（MMT）则用于评估抗重力肌肉力量。研究参与者的平均年龄为 21.27±1.784。在 200 名参与者中，155 名（77.5%）为女性，45 名（22.5%）为男性。体力活动水平与抗重力肌肉力量之间存在显著关联（p<0.001）。本研究得出结论，体力活动水平与医学生的抗重力肌肉力量显著相关。
