What is Tensiomyography:

Tensiomyography (TMG) is a simple and non-invasive method for measuring muscle properties (contraction speed, and consequently, percentage of fast and slow muscle fibres) and their functional profile/response and adaptation (chronic and acute fatigue and the extent of muscle tissue damage after injury).

TMG was developed as a diagnostic tool in medicine (monitoring of post operation and rehabilitation process), but soon became one of the most accurate ways to determine muscle status at selection of young talents, for professional and recreational sportsmen and for patients with muscle pathologies.

How does it work:

• Muscle contraction is initiated with an electrical stimulator.

• A displacement sensor measures radial enlargement of the muscle belly.

• TMG software records the movement and generates measurement results.
