Summary:Problems statement: The muscle training is based on muscle parameters like muscle tone, elasticity, stiffness that need to be evaluate. One of the method is myotonometry help us to monitoring the training programm. Methods: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of musce training for lower limb, using the method which help to have informations about the viscoelastic parameters of skeletal muscle. The muscle training is based on stretching and plyometry. The assessment was made for biceps femoris (BF) and rectus femoris(RF), at two moments: relax and isometric contraction, both side-right and left side. Results: For complet evaluation the measurements calculate the index of symmetry and the results an improvement of symmetry index of viscoelastic parameters which has a good evolution for RF after muscle training. Conclusions: The evaluation of viscolealstic parameters give informations about the muscle behaviour after training and also about muscle fatigue and to design the programm for restore the muscle function.
