Muscle responses to tetanic electrical stimulation were detected by the non-invasive tensiomyographic (TMG) measuring method. The main objective of this study was to find out whether the TMG measuring method is suitable for monitoring the unfused tetanus (stimulation frequencies ranging from 1 Hz to the fusion frequency (ff) - the frequency at which tetanus occurs), and whether this monitoring provides any information on skeletal muscles’ structural or functional changes. The muscle adaptation process was observed in damped unfused tetanus (DUT). The measured results in the clinical environment as well as on the sports field indicate that DUT is caused by a type II muscle fibres fatigue process. Separate observation of type II muscle fibres enables more efficient treatment and observation of pathological changes, and helps professional athletes and their trainers to better understand the influence of training stimulii on the training process.
