        abstract = {This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of one-leg squats and lunges on gluteus medius strength and dynamic balance in healthy individuals aged 18–25 years. A total of 52 participants were randomly assigned to two groups and trained for four weeks. Gluteus medius strength was assessed using a hand-held dynamometer, and dynamic balance was measured using the Y-Balance Test. Both exercises significantly improved strength and balance, but one-leg squats showed greater improvement in gluteus medius strength, while lunges resulted in better dynamic balance. These findings highlight the exercise-specific benefits for lower-limb function.},
