Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of MR diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in evaluating the effect of march training on the thigh muscles of recruits.Methods DTI scans of the right thigh were performed three times in forty recruits:before and after the march training and one month after the rest.Fractional anisotropy(FA)was measured on the cross-sectional images of the thigh muscles,including rectus femoris(RF),vastus medialis(VM),vastus lateralis(VL),vastus intermedius(VI),gracilis muscle(GM),sartorius muscle(SM),semitendinosus muscle(STM),semimembranosus muscle(SMM),long head of biceps femoris(LHBF)and short head of biceps femoris(SHBF).The percentage changes in FA values of each muscle after the training and rest were calculated.Paired samplet-tests were used to analyze the differences in FA among the thigh muscles at different time points,and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in the percentage changes of FA among the thigh muscles after the training and rest.Results Compared to pre-training,the FA values of all thigh muscles significantly decreased after the training,with statistical differences(P<0.05).After the rest,the FA values of all thigh muscles recovered,but statistical differences remained in RF(P<0.001),VM(P<0.001),VL(P=0.001),STM(P=0.046),and LHBF(P=0.013).After the training and rest,the FA values of the recruits'thigh muscles showed a"decreasing first and then increasing"trend.There were statistical differences in the percentage changes of FA after the training and the recovery percentages of FA after the rest among the thigh muscles(P<0.001,P<0.001).Conclusion DTI may reflect the ultra-structure changes in the thigh muscles of recruits after the march training and provide a quantitative and noninvasive assessment of muscle micro-injuries.
