This study investigates how dynamic balance may vary among individuals based on their foot structure and levels of fatigue. Dynamic balance refers to the ability to maintain stability while moving, which can be influenced by various factors such as muscle strength and coordination. The purpose of this study is to compare how different foot arch types affect the activation of the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior muscles during a balancing task.

Participants in this study will perform a dynamic balancing task. The activation levels of specific muscles, namely the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior, will be measured. These muscles are important for foot movement and stability. The study aims to understand the differences in muscle activation among individuals with different foot arch structures.

• Who can participate: Individuals aged 18 to 30 who are enrolled at Indiana University - Bloomington in at least 6 credit hours can participate. Participants must engage in at least 120 minutes of physical activity per week. Those with a history of lower leg fractures, surgeries, recent injuries, or neuromuscular conditions like MS or Parkinson's Disease are excluded.
• Study details: Participants will be asked to perform a dynamic balancing task while muscle activation is measured. The focus will be on the abductor hallucis and tibialis anterior muscles, which are crucial for maintaining balance.
