最大肌力檢測對於任何運動項目在阻力訓練計畫的課表安排及評估都是非常重要,傳統1RM(one-repetition maximum)的檢測流程相當耗時且有安全性的隱患,因此出現許多新的測試最大肌力儀器和1RM的預估公式。隨著時代及科技發展,許多測量最大肌力的儀器陸續廣泛於世界各地的運動實驗裡,其中IMTP搭配測力板(force plate)也被常用於測量1RM跟下肢爆發力的有效方式。本文搜尋PubMed、華藝圖書館資料庫1997至2021年間,以文獻回顧之方式,探討等長大腿中段上拉(isometric mid-thigh pull, IMTP)的最大肌力檢測方式跟1RM預估公式的相關數據及優缺點。目前研究表示IMTP及負荷與速度的關係都能有效預測最大肌力,IMTP及預估公式都相較於傳統1RM來的省時且安全,IMTP價格昂貴且不好取的,未來教練及運動員能夠與有IMTP儀器的實驗室配合,提供教練更多訓練評估選手狀態的資訊。
The One-repetition maximum (1RM) test takes a very important part in resistance training and test for every sport. The One-repetition maximum test needed a lot of time and has some safety concerns, so some new 1RM instruments and some estimation formulas have come out. With the development of time and technology, many instruments for testing 1RM have been used in many sports' science laboratories lately. Among all of the instruments, the compilation of IMTP and The Force Plate is the most popular tool to measure 1RM and the explosive force of the lower body. Throughout the literature, it explores the pros and cons of isometric mid-thigh pull as known as IMTP. And the literature has concluded that IMTP and the relationship between load and speed can predict your maximum muscle strength efficiently and cost less time and its more safety than the traditional ways of 1 RM. Although IMTP cost way more money and is hard to get, but still hope that there will be more and more coaches and athletes can cooperate with some lab that has IMTP, to provide more information and statistics for coaches and athletes to improve their performance efficiently.
