Tensiomyography is a non-invasive, evidence-based measurement method that precisely measures the speed of muscle contraction under isometric conditions.It is used in sports performance and rehabilitation, and in sports medicine and research, for instance.
Deconditioning is adaptation of an organism to a less demanding environment, or, alternatively, the decrease of physiological adaptation to normal conditions. . Deconditioning can result from decreased physical activity, prescribed bed rest, orthopedic casting, pa
