Sport-specific abdominal wall muscle differences: A comparative study of soccer and basketball players using ultrasonography. Applied Sciences, 14(13), 5742. https://doi.org/10.3390/app141357422076-3417https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16758This study aims to compare the thickness of abdominal wall muscles—the external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), transversus abdominis (TrAb), rectus abdominis (RA), and inter-recti distance (IRD)—between amateur soccer and basketball players using ultrasonography. This study highlights sport-specific adaptations in the RA muscle, likely due to the distinct physical demands of basketball and soccer. The findings underscore the importance of tailored training and rehabilitation programs that consider these morphological differences to enhance performance and reduce injury risks.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article10.3390/app14135742open accessCiencias médicasDeporteTecnología médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 4: Quality education
