Maximal strength measurement: A critical evaluation of common methods—a narrative review

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesBMC 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.

Identifying Reliable and Relatable Force-Time Metrics in Athletes-Considerations for the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull and Countermovement Jump. [PDF]

open access: yesSports (Basel), 2020
The purpose of this study was to evaluate intrasession reliability of countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) force–time characteristics, as well as relationships between CMJ and IMTP metrics. Division I sport and club athletes (n = 112) completed two maximal effort CMJ and IMTP trials, in that order, on force plates.

The association between grip strength and isometric mid-thigh pull performance in elite footballers

open access: yesScience & 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.

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate supplementation preserves fat-free mass in collegiate boxers during acute body mass loss

open access: yesChinese Journal of Physiology, 2023
Acute body mass loss before competitions in combat sports usually leads to loss in fat-free mass. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been shown to increase skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength in various muscle wasting conditions.

Standardization and Methodological Considerations for the Isometric Midthigh Pull [PDF]

open access: yesStrength & Conditioning Journal, 2019
ABSTRACT THE ISOMETRIC MIDTHIGH PULL (IMTP) IS COMMONLY USED TO ASSESS AN ATHLETE'S FORCE GENERATION ABILITY. THIS TEST IS HIGHLY RELIABLE AND IS SIMPLE AND RELATIVELY QUICK TO PERFORM. THE DATA THAT CAN BE DETERMINED FROM THE FORCE–TIME CURVES GENERATED BY THE TEST HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE CLOSELY RELATED TO PERFORMANCE CAPACITIES IN A VARIETY ...

Asymmetry of force generation and neuromuscular activity during multi-joint isometric exercise

open access: yesJournal 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)
