Abstract
This is the first study to comprehensively examine how different midthigh muscle imaging techniques and histology compare with one another in participants that performed 10 weeks of resistance training. Our study suggests that histology results show poor agreement with results yielded from other common muscle imaging techniques, and researchers should be aware of this limitation.
