TLDR
The results highlight the importance of VL contractile properties (but not so much those of RF and VM) for maximal power production and suggest TMG as a practical technique for its evaluation.Abstract:
This study aimed to determine which contractile properties measured by tensiomyography (TMG) could better differentiate athletes with high- and low-power values, as well as to analyse the relations...read more

Clinical utility of tensiomyography for muscle function analysis in athletes.
Oscar García-García,Alba Cuba-Dorado,Tania Álvarez-Yates,Javier Carballo-López,Mario Iglesias-Caamaño +4 more
TL;DR: 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 and TMG parameters could be used to control training effects during a specific period or throughout the season.

Match Demands, Anthropometric Characteristics, and Physical Qualities of Female Rugby Sevens Athletes: A Systematic Review
Francesco S. Sella,Daniel Travis McMaster,Daniel Travis McMaster,Christopher Martyn Beaven,Nicholas Gill,Nicholas Gill,Kim Hébert-Losier +6 more
TL;DR: The specific match demands and physical requirements of female rugby sevens athletes competing at different playing levels and playing positions must be considered for developing effective training programs.

Ultrasound Measurement of Skeletal Muscle Contractile Parameters Using Flexible and Wearable Single-Element Ultrasonic Sensor.
TL;DR: A single-element wearable ultrasonic sensor (WUS) and a method to measure the skeletal muscle contractile parameters in A-mode ultrasonic data acquisition are presented and could be a valuable tool for inexpensive, non-invasive, and continuous monitoring of the skeletal Muscle contraction properties.

Is Tensiomyography-Derived Velocity of Contraction a Sensitive Marker to Detect Acute Performance Changes in Elite Team-Sport Athletes?
Lucas A. Pereira,Rodrigo Ramirez-Campillo,Saúl Martín-Rodríguez,Ronaldo Kobal,Cesar Cavinato Cal Abad,Ademir F. S Arruda,Aristide Guerriero,Irineu Loturco +7 more
TL;DR: The main finding of this research is that the direction of changes observed in the Vc were the same as those observed in performance assessments, suggesting that the VC might be used as a sensitive marker of acute variations in speed and power performance of elite team-sport athletes.

The stiffness response of type IIa fibres after eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage is dependent on ACTN3 r577X polymorphism.
Siacia Broos,Laurent Malisoux,Daniel Theisen,Ruud Van Thienen,Marc Francaux,Martine Thomis,Louise Deldicque +6 more
TL;DR: While no major effect of α-actinin-3 deficiency on susceptibility to muscle damage was found acutely, the increased stiffness response in fast RR fibres might be a protection mechanism from muscle damage during a subsequent eccentric exercise bout.

Progressive Statistics for Studies in Sports Medicine and Exercise Science
TL;DR: A more progressive resource for sample-based studies, meta-analyses, and case studies in sports medicine and exercise science is presented, and forthright advice on controversial or novel issues is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making meaningful inferences about magnitudes.
TL;DR: The authors use a more intuitive and practical approach based directly on uncertainty in the true value of the statistic, which deals with the real-world relevance of this uncertainty by taking into account values that are substantial in some positive and negative sense.

Musculotendinous stiffness: its relationship to eccentric, isometric, and concentric performance
TL;DR: Results are interpreted as demonstrating that the optimal musculotendinous stiffness for maximum concentric and isometric activities was toward the stiff end of the elasticity continuum.

Effects of plyometric and weight training on muscle-tendon complex and jump performance.
Keitaro Kubo,Masanori Morimoto,Teruaki Komuro,Hideaki Yata,Naoya Tsunoda,Hiroaki Kanehisa,Tetsuo Fukunaga +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the jump performance gains after plyometric training are attributed to changes in the mechanical properties of muscle-tendon complex, rather than to the muscle activation strategies.
