Abstract :

Background: Tensiomyography (TMG) is a non-invasive method for measuring the contractile properties of skeletal muscles [1]. It provides information, in the time domain, regarding the following variables: displacements of the muscle belly, contraction time (CT), reaction time (RT), sustain time (ST), and relaxation time (RlT). In addition, these parameters could be used to control training effects throughout the season being also a very useful tool to individualize players' training loads [2]. Football is one of the most technically complex and the most difficult events, requiring a player to have adequate physical fitness and skeletal muscle of the lower extremities [3]. Hence, lower extremities are more prone to injuries [4]. The purpose of this study is to explore the values of using TMG measurement on top football player’s musculoskeletal injury prevention during consecutive premier league seasons. Conclusion: To determine the future training load and avoid muscle injuries, TMG can be reliably employed as a complementary screening tool in the diagnosis and rehabilitation programs of a football player. Coaches should monitor such muscle adaptation more often at different training or competition periods during the year. All of these facts suggest that organized and strict work should be undertaken to maintain health, reduce the risk of injuries and ensure proper.
