Limb-specific Isometric and Isokinetic Strength in Adults: The Potential Role of Regional Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-derived Phase Angle.

It is not yet known whether regional bioelectrical impedance (BIA) phase angle (PhA) may be informative of different types of strength performed by the lower and upper limbs, independently of lean soft tissue mass (LSTM). Using a sample of healthy adults, we aimed to examine the association and relevance of regional PhA relative to isometric and isokinetic strength of each limb.
