Concurrent validity and reliability of a functional electromechanical dynamometer to assess isometric mid-thigh pull performance

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 2021
The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent validity and reliability of a functional electromechanical dynamometer (FEMD) to assess the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) kinetic variables: peak force (PF), rate of force development (RFD), and time-specific force values (50-, 100-, 150-, and 200-ms). Twenty-seven male collegiate athletes (age: 22.

Reliability of the isometric mid-thigh pull peak force in Irish schoolboy rugby players. [PDF]

S Afr J Sports Med, 2021
Maximal strength is a key variable within youth rugby union and is therefore of merit when testing and monitoring youth rugby athletes (Darrall-Jones et al., 2015). The isometric mid-thigh pull peak force (IMTP PF) has been observed to be a reliable, valid, and safe means of assessing maximal strength in all previously researched cohorts (Brady et al.,

Which Strength Qualities Matter Most for Sprinting? Partitioning Unique and Shared Variance in a Multivariable Model

European Journal of Sport Science
Individual strength qualities have been associated with sprint performance, but previous researchers have not partitioned the unique and shared variance each contributes, nor included the full range of strength qualities in a single analysis.

Does Test Duration Matter? Comparing 1-s and 5-s Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Protocols for Performance Diagnostics in Basketball Players. [PDF]

Eur J Sport Sci
ABSTRACT To compare kinetic characteristics of a 1‐s isometric mid‐thigh pull (IMTP) protocol with the traditional 5‐s protocol and examine their associations with basketball‐specific performance. Twenty‐five Tier 3 male basketball players performed standardized 1‐s and 5‐s IMTP trials.

Effects of Caffeine on Voluntary Force Estimation During Isometric Exercises [PDF]

Sports
Background: Caffeine is widely used as an ergogenic aid to enhance strength performance; however, its effects on perceptual accuracy during submaximal force regulation remain unclear, particularly in multi-joint isometric tasks.

Reliability, Variability and Minimal Detectable Change of the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull in Adolescent Dancers

Journal of Dance Medicine & Science, 2023
Introduction: The importance and potential benefits of muscular strength in the adolescent’s development for health and fitness has been demonstrated in the literature. Maximal muscular strength and its assessment, however, is not a primary assessment criterium in the selection of young talented dancers.
