study aimed to clarify the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and

were included in the study. Max</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">imal inspiratory pressure (PIMAX),
maximal expiratory pressure (PEMAX), and one-leg standing time were measured.
Additionally, the Functional Reach Test (FRT) was performed. Pearson
correlation coefficient and multiple regression analyses were performed. </span></span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> One-leg
standing time was positively correlated with PEMAX, and was particularly
correlated with PIMAX, while FRT score was not correlated with respiratory
muscle strength. Multiple regression analysis with one-leg standing time as the
dependent variable and PIMAX and PEMAX as independent variables showed that
only PIMAX was significantly correlated with one-leg standing time. </span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Focusing
on expiratory and inspiratory muscle strength is important
