The Influence of Instruction on Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Force-Time Variables
Purpose: The isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is commonly used to assess maximal and rapid (i.e., explosive) strength in athlete populations. The conventional IMTP instruction is to pull “as hard and fast as possible” (CON).

Intra-Trial Reliability and Usefulness of Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Testing on Portable Force Plates. [PDF]
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the intra-trial reliability and usefulness of portable force plates and a customised Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull rig. Twenty males (age: 24.1 ± 2.5 years, body height: 177.7 ± 0.09 cm, body mass: 88.4 ± 17.9 kg) with weightlifting experience ± 12 months attended 1 familiarisation session and 1 ...

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE REACTIVE STRENGTH INDEX-MODIFIED AND MEASURES OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ISOMETRIC MID-THIGH PULL [PDF]
Reactive strength index-modified (RSImod) may be an important variable to measure in the performance testing and monitoring of athletes, and very little work has examined this particular variable.

Modifying the Meaning of the Upper Anchor Predictably Shapes Ratings of Perceived Effort: A Randomized Crossover Trial [PDF]
Background Ratings of perceived effort (RPE) are used to prescribe and monitor training. Yet, the influence of how the upper anchor (“10”) is defined remains underexplored, despite holding theoretical and practical value.
