Neural
CRT led to an 8% improvement in back squat endurance, while TRT only showed a 2% improvement.
Using chains in resistance training may enhance muscular endurance more than traditional methods.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
greater gains were observed for CRT (e.g., back squat endurance: CRT=8%; TRT=2%)
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
