The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between marathon performance and changes in muscles stiffness from pre-to post-marathon in recreational runners aged 50+ years. The muscle stiffness of the quadriceps was measured in two independent sessions: the day before the marathon and 30 min after the completed marathon. Myoton measurements of each muscle group (12 points) were taken separately for the left and right legs.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
