Prof. Alexander Ferrauti from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and his colleagues from the Ruhr University Bochum, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, and the Saarland University have recently published an article with the title “Muscle mechanical properties of strength and endurance athletes and changes after one week of intensive training” in the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology. The study investigates whether tensiomyography (TMG) is sensitive enough to differentiate between strength and endurance athletes, and to monitor fatigue after one week of either intensive strength or endurance training. Their results indicate that TMG could be a useful tool to differentiate between strength and endurance athletes, and to monitor fatigue and recovery especially in strength training.
