March 25, 2013 updated by: Kelly Mônica Marinho e Lima, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
BICEPS FEMORIS AND VASTUS LATERALIS MUSCLE ARCHITECTURE AFTER A CHRONIC STRETCHING PROGRAM
The purpose of this study is to establish, through ultrasound, measurements of the thigh muscles (Biceps Femoris and Vastus Lateralis)and the chronic effects of a static stretching program on the muscle-tendon unit these muscles.
