Ultrasound evaluation of musculotendinous structures in elderly population submitted to a physical activity program

The population should be submitted to examinations to evaluate and follow up the aging evolution and the muscle development. Medical imaging examinations allow the evaluation and follow up of aging and muscle development (Fechine & Trompieri, 2012). The ultrasound is a gold standard method to evaluate the musculoskeletal system in a sedentary and active population, comparing the evolution and improvement of muscles and joints (Moraes et al., 2011).
