However, alternative approaches emphasizing higher volume and lower intensity, such as protocols with high time under tension (TUT), remain underexplored in this population.

Over four weeks, the training groups performed two weekly sessions of bodyweight exercises with equalized time under tension per set (84\u2009s), adjusted according to the type of contraction. The primary outcomes were performance in a 3000-meter time trial, peak torque, countermovement jump, neuromuscular fatigue, internal running load, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation. The data were analyzed using a two-way repeated measures analysis of variance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Peak torque increased by 13.3% in the dynamic group and 14.2% in the isometric group, compared with 2.5% in the control, with statistical significance only for the isometric group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.034,\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091.12).
