Assessment of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage of the elbow flexors by tensiomyography
Exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) impairs maximal torque production which can
cause a decline in athletic performance and/or mobility. EIMD is commonly assessed by
using maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), creatine kinase (CK) and muscle soreness. We
propose as an additional technique, tensiomyography (TMG), recently introduced to
measure mechanical and muscle contractile characteristics. The purpose of this study was to
determine the validity of TMG in detecting changes in maximal torque following EIMD …
