Does regional disadvantage affect health-related sport and physical activity level? A multi-level analysis of individual behaviour.

abstract：:It is generally believed that more muscle mass in the lower body reflects more muscular strength and power. If true, greater ground reaction forces may be facilitated from increasing muscle mass, which may result in higher maximal running speeds. One method to assess the potential contributions of body composition (i....
