FAST lengthening contractions resulted in more Z-band streaming compared to SLOW contractions.
Incorporating FAST contractions may enhance muscle remodeling processes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Biopsies revealed that FAST lengthening contractions resulted in more (185±17%; P <0.01) Z‐band streaming/mm(2) muscle, vs the SLOW arm.
Why this rating
The study design includes direct measurement of molecular changes.
