Morphometric Characteristics of the Vastus Medialis Muscle of the Quadriceps Femoris Muscle of the Thigh According to the Data of the Ultrasound Study

In order to morphometrically compare the volume of the vastus medialis quadriceps femoris muscle, 48 young men aged 16 to 18 years were studied, where the main group consisted of 32 students and the control group consisted of 16 students. As a result of the comparison of the morphometric parameters of the vastus medialis quadriceps femoris muscle according to ultrasound data, it was found that the muscle volume of professional football players is 14.3 % larger than the muscle volume of students who attended the football section and 39.3 % larger than the muscle volume of students in the control group, and it was also found that the volume of the vastus medialis quadriceps muscle in the upper third is larger in students who attended the football section by 29.2 % compared to students in the control group. According to the results of the volume of the medial vastus quadriceps muscle in the middle third, it was found that the muscle volume of professional football players is 17.0 % larger than the muscle volume of students who attended the football section and 36.1 % larger than the muscle volume of students in the control group, and it was also found that the volume of the medial vastus quadriceps muscle in the middle third of students who attended the football section is 23.0 % larger, in contrast to the volume of the medial vastus quadriceps muscle of students in the control group. According to the results of the volume of the medial latissimus dorsi muscle of the quadriceps femoris in the lower third, it was found that the volume of the medial latissimus dorsi muscle of the quadriceps femoris in the lower third of professional football players was 19.2 % larger than that of students who attended the football section and 44.5 % larger than that of the muscle of students in the control group, and it was also found that the volume of the medial latissimus dorsi muscle of the quadriceps femoris in the lower third of students who attended the football section was 31.3 % larger than that of students in the control group.
