In this presentation we can see how we can link external to internal load during training. One of the major problem for injuries is overload during training session, to have the possibility to analyze training load with these two different possibility is, from my point of view a great innovation for athletes' safety.
More we study also pitches to create innovation of product on this topic in order to increase also in this area the safety for the player we follow.

3. Myontec
INTERNAL LOAD
Myontec is a Finnish company
Myontec designs and develops wearable systems,
hardware and software, for sports analysis and
performance evaluation
Prof. Mauro Testa Biomoove – Myontec
4. Overview
INTRODUCTION
Wearable technologies help biomechanics and coaches to monitor athletes without
their cooperation in a non-invasive way
Wearable technologies allow continuous training sessions without interruptions
It is possible to prevent injuries by monitoring athletes during their training sessions
Myontec is comfortable and reliable
Prof. Mauro Testa Biomoove – Myontec
5. Overview
MYONTEC’S ADVANTAGES
Myontec’s products are easy to wear
It’s impossible to fail sensors position
Sweat it’s not a problem
The hair does not bother the signal
The possibility to link electromyographic signals (internal load) with inertial sensors (external load)
Prof. Mauro Testa Biomoove – Myontec

WHAT WE READ
We analyze not a singular muscle but the FUNCTIONAL UNITS

EVALUATION OF STANDARD MOVEMENTS
Prof. Mauro Testa Biomoove – Myontec
• As biofeedback
• In postural analysis
Evaluate standard movements in static or dinamic situation

TRAINING LOAD ANALYSIS
Prof. Mauro Testa Biomoove – Myontec
Means evaluate by sensor any
changes during training and its
cost
Which side of the body is more
spreadly used?
Do we have some non balance
situation?
