Use of Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull to Determine Asymmetrical Strength Differences in NCAA D-I Athletes.
… of this study is to investigate the use of isometric mid-thigh pulls to determine lower-limb asymmetrical strength differences in NCAA D-I athletes. Sixty-six subjects (40 males and 26 females) performed 2 maximal effort isometric pulls over two force plates sampling at 1000 Hz each. Peak …

An investigation into the capabilities and affecting factors of isometric mid-thigh pull force production in elite youth soccer players.
… Study 2, part A (Chapter 4) provided baseline isometric maximal voluntary force (MVF) data for players and an maturation-matched non-elite control group. MVF was slightly higher in the elite compared to control cohorts during an isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP, 118.29 ± 13.47 N compared to …

Physiological and Performance Effects of 11 Weeks of Training in Division 1 Collegiate Throwers: An Exploratory Study.
… the study. Measurements of maximal strength (isometric mid-thigh pull), vertical jumping ability, dynamic mid-thigh pulls (across a spectrum of loads), hormones (testosterone and cortisol), and adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and resistin) were taken at weeks 1, 7, and 11. The throwers …

Investigation of Determinants of Agility Performance in Soccer
… lean body mass. Strength was evaluated using an isometric mid-thigh pull, and power was measured by vertical jumps. In correlation analysis, agility performance showed a statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) with peak power (PP) from 0kg and 20kg counter-movement jumps (r=-.379 & r=-.364 …

Injuries and adolescent ballet dancers: current evidence, epidemiology, and intervention
… reactive strength-index (RSI), isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and inter-limb asymmetry (ASYM) in adolescent ballet dancers. Results: The results from the systematic review were inconclusive, due to the heterogeneity of the studies, the research design, and sample size. The …

A Systematic Approach to the Monitoring of Competitive Weightlifters
… maximal strength and explosive strength from the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and static jumps (SJ) with 0kg, 11kg, and 20kg were taken toward the end of each training block (weeks 1, 6, 10, 13, 17, and 20). Weightlifting performance was measured at weeks 0, 7, 11, and 20. The detailed …

Dynamic Strength Index and Countermovement Jump Performance in Female and Male Collegiate Basketball Athletes Across a Competitive Season
… strategies. The countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) are widely used to assess power and strength. The Dynamic Strength Index (DSI), calculated as the ratio of CMJ peak force to IMTP peak force, offers insight into the strength–power profile of athletes and may inform …

Factors that influence the performance of hop tests
… 300 ms had less reliable variables across all isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) results.The second study established the differences between right and left leg performances across all tests and to describe reference values for the limb symmetry index (LSI) for hop tests and isokinetic muscle …

The manifestations of fatigue in amateur boxing performance
… and forces measured in countermovement jump and isometric mid thigh pull tests (i.e. lower-body strength) as well as body mass, but not RFD, in the lower body. No meaningful relationships between punch performance characteristics and any upper-body strength or power parameters were identified. …

Asymmetries within elite youth soccer players: an investigation into the impact of soccer-specific loading
… different maturation groups. Tests such as the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ), and single-leg drop jump (SLDJ) were analysed. The results showed good reliability for the propulsive and braking phase metrics in jumping tests …

The planning, monitoring and training of elite weightlifting
… in force capacity and expression measured in the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and countermovement jump (CMJ). The COVID-19 disruption led to decreased training intensity and varied volume application, resulting in reduced performance and consistent monitoring. Post-Covid, training intensity …

Modifiable risk factors of hamstring strain injury : assessment, performance and training
… differences identified within the early-mid range of movement (0-40% time normalized to break point between variations), where greater fascicle shortening was observed within the decline and flat NHE variations. This is potentially explained by the contractile components within the BFLH, …

Anthropometry and physical characteristics in English premiership women’s rugby
… tests (countermovement jump, drop jump, and isometric mid-thigh pull) were investigated and grouped by position. Overall, forwards had significantly (p < 0.01) higher body mass, fat mass, lean mass, bone mineral content, and take-off momentum, and backs had significantly higher (p < 0.01, d > …

The countermovement rebound jump assessment: validity, reliability, associations with athletic performance and sensitivity to change
… measures of athletic performance, including the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), 20-m linear sprint, and 505 COD speed tests. Significant positive relationships were observed between IMTP peak force and force at 300 milliseconds (ms) with the CMRJ1 height (r = 0.54 to 0.55, p ≤ 0.002). …

Optimising fitness testing in elite soccer: from test selection to effective data visualisation
… such as the Nordic hamstring strength test, isometric hip adductor strength test, single leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ), 30-15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30-15 IFT), and submaximal field aerobic assessments over the past decade. In addition to identifying testing prevalence, the reviews …

Assessing the effect of psychological priming techniques on salivary hormones and physical performance markers
… throughout the back squat, and prior to this, isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and a CMJ were measured. Endocrine markers of salivary testosterone and cortisol concentrations were also taken to investigate the possible underpinning psychophysiological mechanisms at work. Twenty-eight healthy …
