Synopsis

The majority of studies investigating changes in skeletal muscle parameters with MRI have focused on analyzing the effects before and after exercise training. In this work, we analyze the effects of regular repetitive training on low back muscle by determining T1 and T2 parameters in three cohorts of subjects characterized by different levels of physical activity.
