Introduction Due to the potential for intramuscular fluid shifts from changing body position, researchers often utilize a 10‐to 15‐min period of supine rest as a standardizing procedure prior to ultrasound assessment of the lower limbs. However, no previous research has observed the changes in muscle morphological characteristics via ultrasonography of the lower limbs depending on the length of time of supine rest to determine whether 10–15 min of supine rest is necessary. The aim of this study was to examine changes in muscle …
