This study showed that while muscle tone increased after strength training, relevant changes in muscle tone could not be detected after stretching or FR. As a benefit for practical FR applications, it might be concluded that single bouts of FR are not effectual in significantly affecting muscle tone.

This study concludes that faster athletes performed better in strength-power tests, in both loaded and unloaded conditions, as confirmed by the strong correlations observed between speed and power measures. Lastly, the Vc also showed a marked selective influence on sprint and power capacities. These findings reinforce the notion that maximum running speed is a very complex physical capacity, which should be assessed and trained using several methods and training strategies.

MEDICA is the world’s largest event for the medical sector and we are pleased to announce that the company TMG-BMC will be exhibiting our state-of-the-art muscle diagnostics solutions for the fourth time. You are welcome to visit us in Hall 15, at the Wearable Technologies pavilion, stand A23 in Düsseldorf, Germany. As our schedules are filling fast, we invite you to inform us about your visit on info@tmg.si in order to ensure full attention of our experts.

The findings in this study demonstrate that a skin-surface muscle mechanomyography sensor is an accurate proxy for electrically-evoked muscle contraction torques when directly measured during isometric dynamometry in individuals with SCI. The novel application of the MC sensor during FES-evoked muscle contractions suggested its possible application for real-world tasks (e.g., prolonged sit-to-stand, stepping,) where muscle forces during fatiguing activities cannot be directly measured.

The authors of this letter wanted to encourage researchers to further investigate measurement properties (validity, responsiveness, and reliability) and applicability of TMG in sports medicine, as this is an assessment tool that, in their experience, may have a great potential to improve the prevention and management of musculoskeletal injuries of athletes.

They pointed out the following:

Advantages

  • Involuntary
  • Does not affect the performance in subsequent training sessions
  • Individual muscles assessment
  • Large groups (whole team squad) measured in a short period of time

Disadvantages

  • Muscles are measured under a static state; no dynamic screening is possible yet
  • No direct assessment of muscular chains is possible
  • Evaluation of deep muscles with current devices is not possible
  • Previous training sessions or competition could affect the data

We are very happy to announce that the University of Central Florida has implemented tensiomyography as one of the assessment tools for quantifying fatigue, evaluating training and monitoring the effects of nutritional interventions. We wish Professor David Fukuda and his team from UCF many successful publications!

The company TMG was chosen among 40 most promising medical device manufacturers in Europe for a business mission to Singapore and Thailand. This is a great opportunity for TMG to get exposure in the South Asian markets.

We will be exhibiting at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre and we will also participate in the Medical Fair Thailand which will take place at Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC) in Bangkok.

Please contact us if you would like to meet with our team during the EU business mission.
