Estimation of Quadriceps and Hamstring Cross-Sectional Area by Using Anthropometric Parameters of Thigh

The purpose of this study was to provide models to predict quadriceps and hamstring muscle cross-section area based on anthropometric parameters in 20 to 70 years men. 88 healthy sedentary males between volunteer subjects aged 20 to 70 years selected in this study. CT imaging scans as basic method, and anthropometric measurements as predictor variable, were taken from their thighs. A significant correlation between anthropometric measurements with quadriceps muscle cross section area and volume was shown by multiple regression in the two groups (P
