Comparison of the reliability of peark forece measured during an isometric and mid-thigh pull and isometric squat

, 2017
The purpose of this study was to compare peak force produced during the isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) and isometric squat (IsoSquat), performed at the same knee and hip angles (135 – 140°) and determine the reliability of both tests. Following a specific warmup, 22 international athletes from different sports performed 2 maximal effort tests of both ...

Is isometric mid-thigh pull associated with the competitive performance of striking high-level athletes?

Retos
Background: The isometric mid-thigh pull test (IMTP) is commonly used in sports performance assessment, but it remains underutilized among combat sports athletes. Aims: to evaluate whether Pan-American medalists (PM) showed differences when compared with other athletes (NM) when performing the IMTP.

Relationship between isometric mid-thigh pull variables and sprint and change of direction performance in collegiate athletes

Journal of Trainology, 2015
Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to assess the use of isometric strength testing as a determinant of sprint and change of direction performance in collegiate athletes. Design and Methods: Fourteen male collegiate athletes (mean ± SD; age = 21 ± 2.4 years; height =176 ± 9.0 cm; body mass = 72.8 ± 9.4 kg) participated in the study. Maximal

THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE REACTIVE STRENGTH INDEX-MODIFIED AND MEASURES OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE ISOMETRIC MID-THIGH PULL [PDF]

, 2014
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.

Reliability of isometric mid-thigh pull for maximal strength testing in youth athletes: A systematic review

International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching
The isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is widely used for assessing maximal force production due to its minimal fatigue impact compared to dynamic strength tests. However, variations in testing protocols, equipment, and athlete characteristics may influence the reproducibility of IMTP-derived variables.
