ABSTRACT
Anthropometrical and qualitative ultrasonographic assessment of the quadriceps muscle [vastus lateralis] in thirty elderly women was done before and after a physical training program to develop muscle strength for eighteen weeks. Statistical comparison in different assessment parameters showed that there was no statistical significant difference [p > 0.05] in body weight, thigh girth and cross sectional area of the quadriceps before and after the physical training program. But there was a statistical significant difference [p < 0.05] as regards thigh subcutaneous fat and muscle thickness
