Résumé

Background and objective Muscle architecture varies considerably from one person to another, because it is conditioned by different causes such as gender, age, muscular function, physical activity, etc. In addition, architectural variables are related to muscle strength. The aim of this study is to describe and compare characteristics of muscular architecture of medial gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis of quadriceps in a sample of participants classified by gender and age. Material and methods This is an observational, analytical, and cross-sectional study. A total of 30 healthy subjects were recruited, consisting of 15 people under 40 and another 15 people over 40 years. They were divided into men and women, representing 50% in each of the groups. They attended a single session to complete a fact sheet and carry out ultrasound images, muscle strength and horizontal jump length measurements. Results Muscular thickness is the variable that shows the most significant differences, both between men and women and between ages, with an average of 2.59cm for men during contraction of the vastus lateralis and 1.97cm for women. It also correlates with the 3 physical variables analysed: muscle strength, jump length and weekly physical activity. Conclusions Strength of 2 muscles studied is related to their muscular thickness. The most modified architectural variable according to sex is muscular thickness, and the pennation angle when we compare according to age. The reliability of the study is excellent, and therefore it allows for good reproducibility.
