Changes in the mechanical properties of the thigh and lower leg muscle-tendon units during the early follicular and early luteal phases

Changes in the mechanical properties of the thigh and lower leg muscle-tendon units during the early follicular and early luteal phases

BackgroundThis study aimed to determine changes in the muscle and tendon stiffness of the thigh and lower leg muscle-tendon units during the early follicular and early luteal phases, and check for possible relations between muscle and tendon stiffness in each phase.MethodsThe sample consisted of 15...
