Mechanical properties of the Muscle-tendon complex are an important element in studying human performance. A primary aim in training and rehabilitation is developing balanced and simultaneous muscle and tendon adaptation. Understanding of the force distribution in different joint angle is crucial for training and rehabilitation process. In our research, we focus on quadriceps muscles and tendon and the patellar tendon (PT) force ratio by using MC sensor. We measured the vastus medialis (VM) and lateralis (VL), quadriceps (QT) and patellar tendon (PT) forces during squatting.

COBISS.SI-ID: 32535769In sports we are seeing a phenomenon which is generally known as fatigue. It is a phenomenon that consists of more different processes, and on different structures (muscular system, peripheral and central nervous system). At least two forms of fatigue are known: muscle fatigue and central fatigue. In our study, we researched type of fatigue that occurs during maximum running at between 100m and multiple repetitions of this run. We monitored the running speed, frequency of steps, frequency of the body and and changes in the functioning of muscle Biceps femoris after each run. For measurements we used, accelerometers, gyroscopes and Tensiomyography. We found statistically significant changes in the frequency of run and value of mRFDT (parameter determined using TMG measurements) allowing more detailed insight into the biomechanics of running and the impact of fatigue.
