Resumen:

PURPOSE: Infrared Thermography is a valid and non-invasive tool to evaluate skin temperature. Analyzing changes in temperature in response to physiological processes is important to detect fatigue and risk factors for injury. The main aim of this study was to assess thermal asymmetries (TA) in the rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) in professional soccer players according to position.
