      Review.

AB  - The isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) is a multi-joint test of whole-body force 
      production relevant to rugby players. "Rugby AND (mid-thigh pull OR midthigh pull 
      OR mid thigh pull" were searched in PubMed, Sportdiscus, Academic Search Premier, 
      CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Google Scholar; the final date of search was 24 
      January 2018. Data extraction from 24 articles included subject characteristics, 
      force data, and IMTP testing procedures. Select ranges of peak forces reported 
      were: Youth: 1162-2374 N; Academy: 1855-3104 N; Professional: 2254-3851 N. Rate 
      of force development (RFD) at 100 and 200 ms ranged from 5521 to 11,892 N and 
      5403 to 8405 N, respectively, among professional rugby players. Studies' research 
      design were of moderate quality, but most studies lacked detailed reporting of 
      IMTP procedures. Variability of force characteristics derived from the IMTP 
      within similar populations (e.g., approximately 200% difference in peak force 
      between samples of professional rugby league players) as well as large and 
      unexpected overlaps between dissimilar populations, limit conclusions about force 
      production capabilities relative to playing level, likely due to limitations and 
      lack of standardization of IMTP procedures. Greater uniformity in IMTP testing 
      procedures and reporting is needed. This manuscript provides a guide for 
      reporting needs when presenting results from an IMTP in research.
