Problem

Local muscle fatigue (LMF) is a phenomenon that can assist the understanding of what occurs within the muscles during muscle 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 in training optimization and injury prevention

Solution

It is imperative to identify potential imbalances in order to provide training to assist in avoiding the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. It is also necessary to determine how different muscles respond to a variety of training programmes as monitoring may provide a platform in which to reduce the risk of injury. In such cases, further evaluation is required.

How it works?

TMG allows measurements of important characteristics related to LMF. In addition, it can also be used to quantitatively determine the degree of change known as ‘size of LMF’. Furthermore, LMF determination requires individual testing.

Problem

We recognize that many trainers face the problem that maximal running speed and acceleration may not progress in players despite intense training. Often precise exercise volume and timing for greater training effect are wrongly determined, in addition to the athlete having muscle functional asymmetries and asynchrony in specific muscle chains.

Solution

Speed and Acceleration Development protocols are based decades of experience in elite, world-record breaking athletics training. TMG S2 is essential in identifying less functional muscles between each exercise set during speed development training.

How it works?

First of all our experts evaluate the performance of athlete or whole team with the help of state of the art technologies such as TMG S2, accelerometers, etc. Individual interpretations are made and communicated with you. Additionally we develop and demonstrate training programs that will help to improve speed development. We can do evaluation on the location of your choice. We do not interfere with your training procedure or other activities you might have.

Problem

Your athlete’s maximal speed, explosiveness, endurance and flexibility are negatively affected by asymmetry and asynchrony. Failing to optimize and individualize training, results in underperformance.

Solution

Symmetrical and synchronized muscle function is essential prerequisite for optimal performance. TMG™ Training Optimisation clearly identifies muscle pair asymmetry and asynchronous action in the kinetic chain.

How it works?

Complete evaluation is performed by TMG experts. We can do evaluation on the location of your choice. We do not interfere with your training procedure or other activities you might have. Individual interpretations are made and communicated with you. Additionally we can demonstrate additional exercises that can help you improve the overall muscle synchronization.

Meet Merlene Ottey, Track & Field Legend

Merlene Ottey is a track athlete from Jamaica. As one of the most successful athletes of all times, her achievements are nothing short of legendary. During her 34-years long career she has won 29 medals on major events, including 9 Olympic and 14 World Championship medals. Her Indoor World Record for 200m in 1993 still stands today. She is the world’s fastest female athlete in four different age groups over 30 and has had the longest career as a top level international sprinter.

TRAIN AS MERLENE WOULD

Merlene’s success is result of hard work and carefully designed training, based on precise muscle diagnostics tools, such as TMG S2.
