It was a busy month. We completed testing of our National football teams from U15 to U19 and WU17 to WU19. Our Tensiomyography (TMG) technology was used to assess muscle performance of our young athletes. TMG adds a clear, objective comparison of a normal muscle’s actions and a likely muscle impairment. Since the information is objective and quantified, it’s a permanent record of how the muscles trend over a season.

Advances in Skeletal Muscle Function Assessment, a publication of International Society of Tensiomyography, is a peer-reviewed print + online Semiannual journal. The journal allows free access (Open Access) to its contents and permits authors to self-archive final accepted version of the articles on any OAI-compliant institutional / subject-based repository.The journal’s full text is available online at http://www.asmfa.org.

You can access the first issue here:

Dear members of European College of Sport Science!
If you are attending ECSS congress in Prague on July 4th 2019, kindly check invitation to scientific meeting organized by International Society of TENSIOMYOGRAPHY.
The main agenda is introduction of new journal “Advances in Skeletal Muscle Function Assessment” and the opportunity for the researchers focused in this topic.
More information can be found here: http://www.asmfa.org/

Scientific meeting will take place on July 4th 2019 at 17:00 – 19:00 in CORINTHIA hotel Prague, which is just next door to ECSS venue
Contact us on info@tmg.si if you would like to attend.

An exhaustive review has been made to filter the studies that have analyzed muscle function though tensiomyography (TMG) with elite or well-trained athletes. The results of this review indicate that the several protocols used in athletes to find the displacement-time curve with greater maximum radial muscle displacement showed a good-excellent reliability.

Tensiomyography (TMG) had proven once again its usability when very repeatable and sensitive methodology is required to follow changes in muscle contractile properties.

Information about the speed of muscle contraction was very useful to detect effect of local muscle fatigue.

The tensiomyography (TMG) technique is increasingly used to determine muscle contractile properties in exercise and injury management. The present study investigated the informative value of TMG parameters in correlation with commonly used (creatine kinase, CK; myoglobin, Mb) and novel candidate biomarkers of muscle damage (heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, h-FABP; high-mobility group box 1, HMGB1). Full article

New article was published in Journal of Applied Physiology and it’s about using Tensiomyography to detect changes in muscles as a consequence after lack of movement.

We are leaving in the world facing aging of the population and anti-aging research are gaining importance.

This article demonstrate how useful can be the information provided by Tensiomyography . Full article
