Load significantly increased AC, IEMG, RMS% and MPF of lower limb muscles (P &amp;lt; 0.01). The interaction effect of duration and load had no significant difference on PP, MP, IEMG, RMS% and MPF (P &amp;gt; 0.05), but increased on Fl (P &amp;lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In conclusion, for 200 m and 400 m athletes, it is recommended to use a combination of 20 s and 10.5%BM load to achieve optimal peak power, as well as a combination of 20 s and 9.5%BM load for better average power.
