| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we used ultrasound shear wave elastography that can noninvasively and directly quantify the stiffness of biological tissues in vivo, and demonstrated the following: 1) joint flexibility (e.g., range of motion) can reflect significantly but only weakly-to-moderately the muscle stiffness, 2) muscle stiffness is higher in men than women, 3) stretching exercise cannot necessarily reduce the stiffness of all muscles targeted, and 4) muscle stiffness is partly influenced by genetic factors.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
スポーツの現場においては、肉離れ予防効果を期待してストレッチ運動が頻繁におこなわれているが、実際にはその効果は乏しい。肉離れ受傷に直接関連しうる一つ一つの筋肉の硬さ（伸びにくさ）を定量した上で、それに対するストレッチの効果や遺伝要因の影響を明らかしている本研究の成果は、個人個人の特徴に合わせた肉離れ予防プログラムの開発に繋がる知見である。
