We
compared@FA, eigenvalues, and ADC for bilateral gastrocnemius medialis
(GCM),gastrocnemius lateralis (GCL), soleus (SOL) and anterior tibial (AT)
muscles between athletically trained and not-trained skeletal muscle. In all
eight muscles, all three eigenvalues and ADC were lower in trained muscle
than in not-trained one. There were significant differences in all muscles as
for 1 and ADC (P<0.01), all muscles (P<0.05) except for right AT in
2 and left SOL in 3.Our results indicated that chronic muscle hypertrophy
due to training caused those differences as a result of decrease of the
extracellular space of the muscle.
