Soccer attenuates the asymmetry of rectus abdominis muscle observed in non-athletes.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To determine the volume and degree of asymmetry of the rectus abdominis muscle (RA) in professional soccer players.<h4>Methods</h4>The volume of the RA was determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 15 professional male soccer players and 6 non-activ...

Total volume of the dominant side was similar to the contralateral in soccer players (P = 0.42) and in controls (P = 0.75) (Dominant/non-dominant = 0.99, in both groups). Segmental analysis showed a progressive increase in the degree of side-to-side asymmetry from the first lumbar disc to the pubic symphysis in soccer players (r = 0.80, P<0.05) and in controls (r = 0.75, P<0.05). The slope of the relationship was lower in soccer players, although this trend was not statistically significant (P = 0.14).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Professional soccer is associated with marked hypertrophy of the rectus abdominis muscle, which achieves a volume that is 26% greater than in non-active controls. Soccer induces the hypertrophy of the non-dominant side in proximal regions and the dominant side in regions closer to pubic symphysis, which attenuates the pattern of asymmetry of rectus abdominis observed in non-active population. It remains to be determined whether the hypertrophy of rectus abdominis in soccer players modifies the risk of injury.Fernando IdoateJose A L CalbetMikel IzquierdoJoaquin Sanchis-MoysiPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 4, p e19022 (2011)
