The risk factors comprise instability in gait and balance, which were moderately correlated with the strength capacity. While the literature focused on upper-limb strength, in this work, we sought to evaluate the relationship between maximal plantar flexion and dorsiflexion strength and walking and balance parameters in older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 51 healthy and active participants (age: 78.5 \u00b1 5.8\u00a0years) participated in the study. Lower-leg maximal strength was determined isometrically. Selected gait parameters (normal and maximal walking velocity), static balance [center of pressure (CoP) sway in different standing conditions], and the timed up and go (TUG) and sit-to-stand (STS) were determined. Correlations [Pearson (r\n                      <jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub>\n                      )\/Spearman (r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      )] were calculated in general and stratified by sex.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Walking velocity, STS, and TUG were significantly influenced by lower-leg strength (r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      up to 0.79 in males). Static balance showed no meaningful relationships. In general, fewer correlations in female participants reached the level of significance and showed smaller effect sizes.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Although smaller sex-subgroup sample sizes might limit confidence in the results, male participants showed higher correlations between strength and walking velocity (up to r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 0.79) and individual balance parameters (r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 0.77) than female participants (r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 0.56 for gait, r\n                      <jats:sub>s<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 0.72 for TUG). The results align with previous studies showing a potential influence of strength on gait parameters; however, a causal relationship must be confirmed by longitudinal study designs. Nevertheless, based on the results, there is a need for future sex-specific studies on the necessity of sex-specific balance and fall-prevention routines.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fragi.2026.1736517","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]],"date-time":"2026-03-30T05:26:34Z","timestamp":1774848394000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association between maximal lower leg strength and static and dynamic balance as well as gait velocity in older adults"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Konstantin","family":"Warneke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, Department for Human Movement Science and Exercise Physiology, Friedrich Schiller University Jena","place":["Jena, Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Stotz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, Department for Human Movement Science and Exercise Physiology, Friedrich Schiller University Jena","place":["Jena, Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Konrad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Human Movement Science, Sport and Health, Universitat Graz","place":["Graz, Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Astrid","family":"Zech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Human Movement Science and Exercise Physiology, Universitat Hamburg","place":["Hamburg, Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e34160","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000034160","article-title":"Optimal procedure and characteristics in using five times sit to stand test among older adults: a systematic review","volume":"102","author":"Albalwi","year":"2023","journal-title":"Medicine"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0198185","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0198185","article-title":"Association between handgrip strength, balance, and knee flexion\/extension strength in older adults","volume":"13","author":"Alonso","year":"2018","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"664","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1532-5415.2001.49115.x","article-title":"Guideline for the prevention of falls in older persons.
