We have published new application note about the local muscle fatigue.

Local muscle fatigue (LMF) is the concept that helps the understanding of what occurs within the muscles during a loading. It essentially sets the boundary between differing functional states of the muscles. Therefore, determining the degree of LMF may be a universally applied process.

Our senior consultant Sergej has returned from the USA where he installed TMG 100 Sytem at the elite Athletes Performance Centre in Phoenix and made user training.

Athletes’ Performance is an American company that provides integrated performance services for the top athletes in the world. It has private training facilities in Phoenix, Arizona and Frisco, Texas, California; and at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Florida.

TMG 100 Sytem will be used to customize training and rehabilitation programs, detect onset of local muscle fatigue as well as Lateral and Functional weaknesses, prevent injury or re-injury and therefore improve performance.

In the last year alone, Athletes’ Performance has trained 8 NFL first-round picks, 9 NBA first-round picks, World Cup heroes (US Women’s Soccer and German Men’s Soccer), and hosts of All-Stars across every major sport. Four members of the Boston Red Sox have spent part of their off season time at Athletes’ Performance. You can find more about Athletes’ Performance on their website.

Benelux TMG100 representatives, Orthomedico planned several TMG100 tensiomyography introduction workshops in Antwerpen, Belgium. There was interest from many leading sports organizations, including the Dutch Judo Federation, and several private medical and physiotherapy practices. Workshops and demonstrations led to very interesting debates with many recognizing that TMG100 can add value to clinical practice and top sports training, through the ability to aid in injury prevention, provide more information during medical and physiotherapy screenings and assist in being able to adapt training to specific needs.

Autumn is close and is the perfect time to start preparations for the winter sports season. A precisely targeted and monitored training program for thigh musculature is essential to ensure knee stability and prevent serious knee injury in many winter sports. TMG100 tensiomyography is the perfect tool to assess muscle contraction properties of muscles essential to knee stability. In a matter of minutes muscle functional symmetry around the patella and the knee flexor-extensor complex are precisely determined and quantified. When muscle function deviates from reference values, specific exercise modalities are recommended in the automated report, making it easy to communicate to patients and develop a personalized training program. Progress can be easily monitored in follow up TMG100 assessments so that injury prevention training can be fine-tuned. Fast, simple and easy, TMG100 assessments are ideal to offer quick but valuable screening to prevent knee injury.

Our CEO Jure Jemec and CTO Srdjan Djordjevič visited World athletics 2013 in Moscow to demonstrate use of TMG100 system to some of the interested clients and to support some of the athletes and coaches. Main focus was on speed development, fatigue management and training optimisation.

A TMG100 premiering workshop will be held in Bangalore on Sunday 22nd September, 2013. It will introduce the science behind tensiomyography, explain the value in muscle diagnostics, training and rehab monitoring through case studies and will cover the TMG100 measurement protocol in a live demonstration session with TMG-BMC senior consultant, Stef Harley.The event is part of TMG100 tensiomyography’s launch on the Indian market by Fit and Spa Solutions and is hosted by the RECOUP Neuro Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Centre in Bangalore. Attendance is free of charge. Anyone interested in attending should contact Fit and Spa Solutions at info@fitandspasolutions.com

Scientists from the University of Vigo, Spain, have recently published the article in Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology that is based on their research work with TMG in the field of injury prevention in football.

The report about the conclusions of the study and statements of the authors can be also found on Elomundo.esand Pontevedraviva.com.

TMG diagnostic measurements on Beijing Sport University

On the 18th annual congress of European College of Sport Science in Barcelona, we will present world’s first application for fast diagnostic of patellar and quadriceps tendon viscoelastic properties.

Preliminary studies have shown that patients with repeated knee problems have changed viscoelastic properties of patellar and quadriceps tendon. Until now there was no direct diagnostic available, however with the development of our new product based on recently invented MC method, this will change.

To get more information about our revolutionary diagnostic product, visit us on ECSS in Barcelona at stand 75 or contact us on info@tmg.si.
