Muscle thickness (rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, gluteus maximus) was measured using Real-time ultrasound (RTUS) imaging. Muscle strength (30°/s-1, 60°/s-1, 180°/s-1) was measured using Humac Norm/Cybex dynamometry. Statistically between isokinetic muscle strength and muscle thickness GMAX (mm) - 30°/s-1 Glut Con Torque (N.m-1), RF (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), VI (mm) - 180°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), RF+VI (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1) values were significantly. In conclusion, this study showed significant and high correlations of quadriceps thickness measurements with muscle strength.

Araştırmaya Türkiye profesyonel futbol 1. ligi takımlarından U17 ve U19 yaş gruplarında oynayan 54 genç erkek sporcu (ortalama yaş: 18.296 ± 1.312 yıl, ortalama boy 177.592 ± 5.063 cm; ortalama vücut ağırlığı 67.037 ± 6.564 kg) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Kas kalınlığı (rektus femoris, vastus intermedius, gluteus maksimus) Gerçek zamanlı ultrason (RTUS) görüntüleme kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Kas kuvveti (30°/s-1, 60°/s-1, 180°/s-1) Humac Norm/Cybex dinamometri kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. İstatistiksel olarak izokinetik kas kuvveti ve kas kalınlığı arasında GMAX (mm) - 30°/s-1 Glut Con Torku (N.m-1), RF (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torku (N.m-1), VI ( mm) - 180°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1), RF+VI (mm) - 60°/s-1 Knee Con Torque (N.m-1) değerleri anlamlıydı. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma kuadriseps kalınlık ölçümleri ile kas kuvveti arasında anlamlı ve yüksek korelasyonlar göstermiştir. CR - Anderson, M. A., Gieck, J.
