Want to improve how you measure muscle fatigue?
myocene applications in elite sports
quantify session fatigue
Measure fatigue after training sessions (e.g. strength, endurance, plyometric, speed, …) to optimize training intensity and volume based on each athlete’s capacity to withstand the workload.
IDENTIFY UNBALANCED FATIGUE OF THE LOWER LIMB
Monitor any potential unbalance in fatigue resistance post
training and competition to optimize performance and mitigate
injury risks.
AVOID CHRONIC FATIGUE
Measure fatigue after training sessions. Monitor fatigue across the season to avoid accumulation of
long-term fatigue, that would lead to overtraining and
increase the risk of injuries
OPTIMIZE RETURN TO PLAY
Measure the fatigue to adapt the training load of injured
athletes and reduce the injury recurrence.
ENSURE RECOVERY POST COMPETITION
Measure the fatigue recovery following a match to resume training
at the right time

OGC Nice Case study
Myocene a game changer for player freshness and recovery
Discover how OGC Nice is revolutionising player performance and recovery with Myocene’s cutting-edge technology! In this in-depth case study, Laurent Bessiere, OGC Nice’s Director of Performance, and Sebastien Sangnier and Christopher Juras, strength and conditioning coaches at OGC Nice, share insights into why the club chose Myocene to assess player “freshness”, recovery and how they implement it in their daily practice. Myocene offers a reliable, practical solution for quantifying muscle fatigue, crucial for optimising player performance.
Myocene device and its mechanism of action
Myocene uses a combination of electrical stimulation and force sensing to measure muscle contractility, resulting in a unique, accurate and objective assessment of muscle fatigue. The device calculates a metric called Powerdex, which quantifies peripheral fatigue without the need for voluntary muscle contractions.
- The athlete sits on the device with their leg against the custom-developed Myo-sensor.
- Electrodes are set up on the quadriceps to induce electrical muscle contractions.
- In just 90 seconds, an algorithm calculates the fatigue index based on the force response of each electro induced muscle contraction.
Myocene Software
Unlock Actionable Insights on Muscle Fatigue
Designed to complement our cutting-edge muscle fatigue measurement device, the Myocene software centralizes all collected data, allowing for seamless tracking and analysis. With powerful filtering and interpretation tools, coaches and sports scientists can easily sort, compare, and assess fatigue levels to optimize athlete performance and recovery.

Technology
Muscle fatigue is a loss of force. Myocene technology uses a combination of electro-stimulation and force sensing to accurately assess the force drop and deduce the corresponding fatigue.
Backed up by science
Technology validated
The Myocene device has been validated by Key Opinion Leaders in muscle fatigue. One of them published an article in a peer-reviewed journal:
Thanks to its ease and rapidity of use and its high accuracy, Myocene is now a benchmark device in muscle fatigue research. It can be used to explore and study muscle fatigue both in the field and in the laboratory and it offers limitless research opportunities thanks to its high usability and limited set up required. Several university laboratories and research and performance centers have been using the device in their studies on athletes fatigue and performance. Some published work:
