In the previous article we discussed about theory behind the neuromuscular fatigue and muscle fatigue threshold (MFT). Now we present how easily the threshold can be detected with Myontec’s Mbody products. In addition, we introduce the exercise intensity zones based on MFT.

Myontec Mbody offers solution to detect MFT during standardized exercise tests and based on current scientific literature as well as our own substantial data collection we have developed automatic algorithms for MFT analysis. Therefore, now for the first time, it is possible for athletes and consumers to detect their training threshold noninvasively and use their muscle loading level to classify training intensities. This offers totally new perspectives to training by providing with Training zones based on muscle loading as alternative for zones calculated from Heart rate.

In the previous post we discussed the theory behind Problem detection traffic light system and what information can be brought up with it. Today we wanted to discuss more about how this feature can be implemented in real-life training and what benefits does it bring to the user.

Due to huge burden caused by injuries and rehabilitation processes to professional athletes, there is an increasing need and interest for objective monitoring of functional rehabilitation processes from muscle injuries.
There has been an estimation, made already in 1984, that 3–5 million injuries occur annually among competitive and recreational athletes in the United States alone. From Muscle injuries hamstring injuries are named one of the major problems, especially in sports that require sprinting, jumping or kicking, so e.g. in all ball games and athletics.
