The Efficacy of Wrestling-Style Compression Suits to Improve Maximum Isometric Force and Movement Velocity in Well-Trained Male Rugby Athletes [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: The prevalence of compression garment (CG) use is increasing with athletes striving to take advantage of the purported benefits to recovery and performance. Here, we investigated the effect of CG on muscle force and movement velocity performance

Relationships between lower body muscle structure and isometric mid-thigh pull peak force
Journal of Trainology, 2015 Objectives: To explore relationships between aspects of vastus lateralis (VL) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle structure (muscle thickness, fascicle length and pennation angle) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force capacity. Design and Methods: Fifteen male collegiate athletes (height 1.79 ± 0.05 m; body mass 82.8 ± 8.1 kg, age 23.2 ± 3.4 ...

Force-Time Characteristics in Collegiate Weightlifters Using Two Isometric Pull Protocols
International Journal of Strength and ConditioningThe isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is commonly used to measure isometric strength of characteristics of weightlifters. The isometric pull from the start position (IPSP) has not been studied as much as the IMTP but may potentially be a viable option for

The effect of hip joint angle on isometric midthigh pull kinetics [PDF]
, 2017 The aim of this study were to compare isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) peak force (PF), time-specific force values (100-, 150-, and 200 ms), rate of force development (RFD) at predetermined time bands (0–100, 0–150, and 0–200 ms) and net forces between 2 ...

Influence of dynamic strength index on countermovement jump force-, power-, velocity-, and displacement-time curves [PDF]
, 2017 The dynamic strength index (DSI), often calculated as the ratio of countermovement jump (CMJ) propulsion peak force to isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force, is said to inform whether ballistic or maximal strength training is warranted for a given ...
