Maximal strength measurement: A critical evaluation of common methods—a narrative review
Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023 Measuring maximal strength (MSt) is a very common performance diagnoses, especially in elite and competitive sports. The most popular procedure in test batteries is to test the one repetition maximum (1RM).

The effects of technological and traditional feedback on back squat performance in untrained women
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2022 Background Recently, a novel method for improving movement quality called open-ended augmented feedback has been introduced. However, the effects of using such feedback in a training intervention have not yet been examined.

The association between grip strength and isometric mid-thigh pull performance in elite footballers
Science & Sports, 2022 Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to analyse the association between grip strength and performance of the standardised protocol of the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test. \ud \ud Methods: 31 elite premier league footballers completed test-retest measures of peak force (PF) grip strength and IMTP, measures were taken 7 days apart.

Asymmetry of force generation and neuromuscular activity during multi-joint isometric exercise
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2019 The purposes of the present study were (a) to determine whether a self-reported dominant leg was consistent with a dominant leg of force generation by using the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) tests and (b) identify the features of bilateral IMTP (IMTPBi)
