Simplified Triceps Surae Muscle Volume Assessment in Older Adults

Simplified Triceps Surae Muscle Volume Assessment in Older Adults

Triceps surae (TS) muscle volume can be estimated in young adults by only considering the maximal anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSAmax) and the length of the muscle due to the presence of a constant muscle-specific shape factor. This study aimed to investigate if this simplified muscle volume as...
