Isometric Mid Thigh Pull (IMTP): The Ultimate Guide

In this video, we're going to show you the Isometric Mid Thigh Pull (IMTP) strength test. We can use the isometric mid-thigh pull exercise as a strength test to assess an athlete's total body strength. Combined with data from a Countermovement Jump (CMJ) test to calculate the Dynamic Strength Index (DSI), it can help to plan an athlete's strength and conditioning programme.

This video is part of our sports science athlete testing series with VALD Performance, in which I discuss common athlete strength tests, best practice protocols, metrics and analysis, key research, and test strengths and limitations.
