Values are P values of direct comparisons between muscles of estimates of rates of volume loss. Differences of P < 0.01 are in bold. BF_LH, biceps femoris long head; BF_SH, biceps femoris short head; GMED, gluteus medius; GMIN, gluteus minimus; LGM, lower gluteus maximus; OBT_EXT, obturator externus; OBT_INT, obturator internus; PIRI, piriformis; QF, quadratus femoris; SEMI_M, semi-mebranosus; SEMI_T, semi-tendinosus; UGM, upper gluteus maximus.
