What is a common outcome of reduced muscle strength?

Reduced muscle strength often leads to a greater risk of joint injuries. When muscles are weakened, they are less capable of providing the necessary support and stabilization to the joints during movement and load-bearing activities. This instability increases the likelihood of improper joint alignment or excessive strain, making injuries more common during physical activities or even daily tasks.

In contrast, options such as increased range of motion or improved joint stability typically require adequate muscle strength to maintain proper function and alignment of the joints, while enhanced physical performance usually relies on a baseline of strength to effectively execute movements. Therefore, diminished muscle strength primarily compromises joint stability, leading to an elevated risk of injuries.
