TMG is for the muscles, what ECG is for the heart! 
“I like asymmetry in fashion, but when it pertains to my muscles they have to be symmetric!” Merlene Ottey, One of the first users of TMG method
TMG – BMC is a company for biomedical engineering and training consulting. It unites experts with different specialisations: TMG instructors, who are trained for TMG measurements, TMG consultants (they prepare interpretation of the measurement results) and TMG personal trainers who are specialised for physical preparation (with main stress on development of maximum speed and specific and maximum strength components). The service that we offer is implementation of high tech research achievements into practical training in order to physically prepare an athlete for his/her peak performance. Planning athlete’s training process and his/her top shape is becoming multidisciplinary project, which connects experts from very different fields. Competing in professional sports today means competing with nearly equal competitor. We can distinguish between users and nonusers of latest technology, for improving sports performance. Athletes that use TMG have the best chance of achieving the highest level of success. Nowadays motto is not “Train More!” but “Train optimally, for your individual needs!”. The service that we offer is just that. With TMG measurements: · We determine weakest links in cinematic chain and individually plan training to better the performance. · In the mean time we take care that the body stays balanced throughout sports career and after. · By keeping muscles balanced and synchronised we lower the rate of injuries. (Tensiomyography) and its applicable value Tensiomyography is a simple and non-invasive method for measuring muscle properties (contraction speed, and consequently, percentage of fast and slow muscle fibres) and their functional profile/response and adaptation (chronic and acute fatigue and the extent of muscle tissue damage after injury).  How Does It Work
· Muscle contraction is initiated with an electrical stimulator. · A displacement sensor measures radial enlargement of the muscle belly. · TMG software records the movement and generates measurement results. Types of TMG Measurements and The Benefits They Provide 1. Assessment of the initial muscle state (the initial measurement) – This helps us to determine the general profile of all muscle groups (distribution of different muscle fibre types), their genetic predisposition, and adaptation potential. These measurements can be used for selecting athletes, optimisation of training, and for elimination of weak links in the kinematics chain. 2. Monitoring changes in muscle performances (contractile properties) during the training process on indicatory muscles – The main purpose of this measurement is to determine the influence of training on certain muscle groups. This approach enables us to optimise and individualise training process. 3. Monitoring muscle imbalance – These measurements help us to synchronize the muscle activity during training. Consequently, we are able to reduce the risk of injuries that are more likely when there are asymmetries between the left and right side of the body and imbalance between the agonistic and antagonistic muscle groups or between synergistic muscles. 4. Monitoring posttraumatic recovery – Because of its non-invasive nature, the TMG method can provide us with useful information about the extent of damage to the injured muscle. Obtained information can than be used to determine the type, intensity, and frequency of training in order to make the recovery quicker and more effective. 5. Optimisation of training – With TMG we can evaluate local muscle fatigue and monitor individual muscle recovery back to the initial state. This enables us to determine the level of local muscle fatigue compared to the initial state. TMG helps us to evaluate fatigue process (basic phenomena of all sports) more accurately than other known methods, as lactate measurement and different types of force measurements. TMG measurements can also help determine the optimum knee joint angle that is important for the optimisation of the strength training protocol (selective development of hypertrophy of fast twitch fibres or maximal total hypertrophy).
