Abstract: The article cites a study which quantified the relationship between lower extremity lean mass (LELM) percentage and total body lean mass (TBLM) percentage lower extremity force/power production during a countermovement jump (CMJ) in a general population. It informs that the findings have implications in including DXAassessed lean mass percentage as a component for evaluating lower extremity strength and power.
