MYOCENE
Myocene is a sport technology company that offers a device and software for objective muscle fatigue assessment. Their technology combines electrical stimulation and force sensing to measure muscle contractility, providing a 'Powerdex' metric that quantifies peripheral fatigue without requiring voluntary muscle contractions. The system delivers results in 90 seconds and is transportable for use indoors or outdoors. Myocene's applications include quantifying session fatigue, identifying imbalances in lower limb fatigue, preventing chronic fatigue, optimizing return-to-play protocols, and ensuring recovery post-competition. They have notable clients such as OGC Nice, SC Braga, SRVHB (Saint Raphaël Var Handball), US Ivry handball, Djilali Bedrani (French Olympic Athlete), Armand Marchand (alpine skier), Julien Chorier (ultra-trail runner), Tarbes Union Basket, and RC Lens. The company's technology is backed by scientific validation and has been featured in peer-reviewed journals.
