An eminent Chinese institute – Shenyang Sport Institute – included the TMG S1 system into their research work in the field of the development of more efficient training protocols. We look forward to future publications and research cooperation.

We have just released a free of charge upgrade for our TMG Software 3. Significant improvements have been made, therefore installing this latest version of the software is highly recommendable for optimal use of your TMG S1 System. The software upgrade does not impact stored information and existing databases. Updating to version 3.6.2. provides the benefits of a new, improved and more pleasant user interface along with a new reporting module.

In addition, the new version includes also the following improvements and features:
• increased number of sports
• updated images used for choosing the measured muscle
• increased number of available muscles
• higher resolution color images for sensor positioning.

In order to ensure you a smooth transition to the new version of TMG software, we provide a free of charge software upgrade through our web-based upgrade service. Please contact our technical support team on customer-support@tmg.si or +386 838 77530 to secure the upgrade of your software.

FC Liverpool has been cooperating with specialized TMG consultants for quite some time; however, they have recently decided to expand the usage of TMG by obtaining their own TMG S1 system, which will enable them to perform measurements on a daily basis.

FC Bayern Munich, one of the most successful German football clubs has been coping with muscle injuries for quite some time. Consequently, they have implemented the TMG S1 system into their daily routine in order to reduce muscle injuries by optimizing their training protocols.

Hamstring injuries represent one of the most frequent muscle injuries not only in the NFL but also in other explosive sports, such as sprint. Hamstring injuries usually occur during full-speed sprinting or when some other force overstretches one or more hamstring muscles. They are especially frequent when the athletes do not perform a proper warm up prior to the activity or because of an overuse.
Hamstring injuries are problematic as it is very difficult to fully rest hamstrings and furthermore they require long-term rehabilitation. Consequently, many athletes continue with their training routine regardless of the fact that their hamstrings have strains, which leads to an even worse injury. Once a hamstring muscle is injured, a re-injury is very likely to happen if the rehabilitation is not sufficient and a special training protocol is not implemented.

Tensiomyography (TMG) is a noninvasive means of evaluating a muscle’s ability to contract/relax. By examining the contractile profile of a muscle group, TMG provides individualized data on muscle symmetry and firing velocities. The information obtained is used to evaluate and optimize the training or rehabilitation process and helps coaches to prevent hamstring injuries and optimize the rehabilitation process.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad is a Bulgarian football club, which is in the top division of the Bulgarian football league. TMG recently became a part of their training routine, as it helps them to optimize and individualize their training protocols.

As a part of our research collaboration with MASS General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, we will organize a 3-hour workshop, at which the TMG benefits for sports medicine will be presented. The main focus will be on the hamstring muscle injuries and Pitcher’s Elbow. The workshop will take place on the 4th of June, 2015. In order to secure your participation, please make the reservation here.

There are several terminology and classification consensuses that have been published in the recent years (O’Donoghue, Ryan, Takebayashi, Peetrons, Stoller, Chang, Munich and Pollock). Initially, classifications were based on clinical signs or imaging, but more recent classifications are based on the combination of the two. Leading experts in the field of muscle injuries have developed a consensus statement in which muscle injuries are divided into two groups: functional muscle disorders and structural muscle injuries.

While there are many diagnostic devices available for providing relevant information about structural damage in the muscle, there are not many objective diagnostic systems that can evaluate functional muscle disorders. We believe that TMG as the leading methodology for objective evaluation of functional muscle disorders, proven by more than 50 football clubs worldwide, enables precise diagnostics of functional muscle disorders and monitoring of their rehabilitation.

We are proud to announce that we have established a long-term collaboration with 3M in order to provide a state of the art solution for core-body temperature monitoring – the TMG Tracker endorsed by 3M! At the upcoming Rio 2016 Olympics, the management of hyperthermia will play a crucial part of an athlete’s performance. The TMG Tracker that reaches the accuracy of the golden standard of the Pulmonary Artery approach and is the most athlete-friendly solution available at a moment will enable athletes and their coaches to effectively adapt to Rio’s harsh climate.

An eminent sport medicine clinic from Duesseldorf has recently acquired our TMG S1 system for evaluating functional muscle disorders, which confirms the fact that TMG is the leading tool for objective evaluation of functional muscle disorders.
