Quadriceps lean tissue cross-sectional area

1. Strength training increases quadriceps lean tissue cross-sectional area in humans (+5.8%, P = 0.009).

   “The strength-trained women increased their total muscle lean tissue CSA of the thigh (1.5%; P = 0.035), quadriceps CSA (4.5%; P = 0.021), quadriceps lean tissue CSA (5.8%, P = 0.009)”
