What is it about?
TMG is a non-invasive technique to quantitatively assess the functional status of superficial skeletal muscle tissue. Accelerometers are used in sport to quantify cumulative motion performed by athletes in the absence of satellite reception. This manuscript illustrates how to use the respective technologies longitudinally throughout the course of a competitive season.

Why is it important?
We examine how TMG responds to both chronic versus acute training loads. We also investigate which Catapult metric (PlayerLoad, IMA) TMG is most responsive to. These respective technologies are certainly growing with the field of athlete monitoring, and we wanted to help by offering an analysis of how to corroborate the two monitoring tools.
Perspectives
May be seen as a pilot study, but still pertinent, as longitudinal studies can be quite expensive.
