3. Myontec
INTERNAL LOAD IN RUNNING
Myontec is a Finnish Company
Myontec designs wearable
technologies with the aim of studying
muscle efficiency and effectiveness
Mauro Testa Biomoove

4. Overview
ADVANTAGES OF MBODY
Myontec is simple to wear
The position of the sensor cannot be wrong
Sweat is not a problem
The hair does not disturb the signal
Possibility to connect the internal load to the external load

5. Overview
WHAT CAN WE RECORD?
To Analyze, not the single muscle, but the functional unities

6. Overview
MEASURING- OBSERVING
Mauro Testa Biomoove
Use of Mbody with a video analysis software
considered one of the best performing in the
world able to process videos in slow motion

7. Mauro Testa Biomoove
VIDEO ANALYSIS, A NECESSARY TOOL
Often our visual perception of movement, especially
the fast one, is not sufficient for an analysis of the
same. Knowing well who we are evaluating, be it an
athlete rather than a patient, is a necessary gradient
for the success of our performance, preventive or
therapeutic intentions with respect to them. Years of
biomechanical studies on professional athletes, often
uncooperative, led us to think to a minimally invasive,
cost-effective and scientifically reliable analysis
tool.Biomovie was born as a video analysis software,
with unique and innovative tools able to satisfy the
most demanding researcher and combines reliability
with a simple and intuitive interface. In just a few
steps you will already know how to use your software.

16. Tests result– comparison of muscle parameters
Biomoove
Muscle saving is evident in these graphs with the use of SoxPro. Saving of this kind is a positive factor not only in terms of
improving performance but also and above all as a factor reducing injuries. The lesser muscular involvement is explained
by the lesser necessity of the central nervous system to activate motor units to obviate the slipping existing between foot
and shoe in some movements and as demonstrated by the improvement of motor execution times.
