In 2013, the Colorado Rockies began using MuscleSound, the health technology company that discovered and developed a non-invasive way of measuring glycogen levels for muscle health in order to optimize performance and muscle readiness.
The Rockies used MuscleSound’s ultrasound technology in a pilot program to quickly uncover the capacity of players’ muscles to generate, store and replenish energy before and after games. Now in its fifth season of the partnership, the team is continuing to see the technology’s impact.
“Our players’ health and safety out on the field is always our top priority, and with MuscleSound, we’ve been able to build in the ability to access real-time muscle health data into our day-to-day operations,” Keith Dugger, Head Athletic Trainer for the Rockies, said in a statement.
