This study is designed to investigate the relationship between foot biomechanics, balance, lower extremity muscle mechanical properties, and vertical jump in young adults. The aim is to highlight the correlations between foot biomechanics and the other parameters, as well as potential outcomes (if any).

This study is designed to investigate the relationship between foot biomechanics, balance, lower extremity muscle mechanical properties, and vertical jump in young adults. The independent variables of the study include participants' age, height, weight, calcaneotibial angle, navicular drop test, foot lengths, smoking/alcohol habits, socioeconomic status, and exercise habits. The dependent variables are the results from the Korebalance balance test, Flamingo balance test, vertical jump test, and Myoton-Pro assessment. The study aims to highlight the correlations between foot biomechanics and the other parameters, as well as potential outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Willing to participate in the study
• Aged between 18 and 25 years
• No regular exercise habits

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having a physical disability that prevents participation in the study (e.g., use of a wheelchair, walker, and/or crutches, etc.)
• Having conditions that directly affect balance, such as vertigo or multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Having a neurological disorder
