2 What is TMG? TMG is a patented technology and innovative muscle diagnostic technological procedure that is non-invasive, selective and reliable. It was developed to precisely measure an athlete s individual muscle contractions and is able to determine muscle activation pattern (muscle fiber type utilization), and muscle tone, as well as muscle reaction and muscle contraction times.

3 Why Test your Muscle Characteristic? Testing specific muscle characteristic provides an athlete with important information about muscle performance and composition. TMG data base has gathered lot of data through all the yeas of testing athletes of different sports. Software uses this data from each measurement to assess muscle strengths, weaknesses and balance. These interpretations are made based on muscle activation, muscle symmetry and muscle synchronization called MASS. TMG helps athletes optimize their training and performance by identifying muscular imbalances (symmetry and synchronization), preventing injuries and allowing more efficient rehabilitation.

4 TMG is simple, flexible and compatible with other methods and applications, on or off the field. Athletes are profiled, monitored, and guided on how to correct imbalances/deficiencies quickly and efficiently. TMG reveals the true functional ability of an athlete s muscles without excessive costs, time and travel.

5 Using of TMG Sports teams, coaches, physiotherapists, athletic therapists, and performance professionals desire efficient athletic performance. They have a common need to make informed decisions by gathering as much objective, quantitative information as possible. TMG provides coaches and training professionals with this critical and valuable information through a quick and easy test with real time reporting.

7 What does TMG measure? TMG measures a muscle's characteristic using 5 unique parameters that contribute to the mechanical response of a muscle.

8

9 TMG Parameters Muscle Reaction/Delay Time The length of time it takes for a stimulus to activate a specific muscle. Muscle Contraction Time The duration of a specific muscle contraction, reflecting muscle activation and fiber type utilization (fast twitch or slow twitch). Muscle Relaxation Time The length of time it takes a specific muscle to relax after maximal contraction. Sustain Time The length of time a muscle contraction is continued without relaxing. Maximal Muscle-Displacement (Tone) Radial displacement by the force a specific muscle produces during supramaximal electrical stimulation (twitch type electrical stimulation 1ms). This measurement data provides valuable information related to muscle tone, muscle tightness/looseness and muscle volume.

23 REPORTS PROVIDED BY TMG 1.Quick Report 2.Personal Report 3.Team Report 4.Trend Report

24 1.QUICK REPORT This is provided to the athlete after an assessment. It is designed to provide an easy reference on specific muscular characteristics and imbalances, including reference graphs and a colored guide with the suggested course of action.

25 2.PERSONAL REPORT This report, which can also be shared with medical or training professionals, includes the raw test result numbers obtained from the assessment. It is generated with automatic interpretations on muscle contraction speed, as well as lateral and functional symmetry.

26 3.TEAM REPORT Provided to coaches, team therapists and doctors in order to give a full picture on team performance. This report can be used to evaluate training and team trends during the season.

27 4.TREND REPORT Provided to medical or training professionals for ongoing assessments. This report is generated with a column and/or bar graph to show specific muscular changes over time.

28 Dan Pfaff, Head Coach, ALTIS We used TMG units during my four years in the UK leading into the Olympics of It aided us in monitoring sport injury status, practice readiness factors and gave us very valuable information on therapy interventions. It was absolutely a factor in the production of one gold medalist achieving his life long dream.
