Low-load Slow Movement Squat Training Increases Muscle Size and Strength but Not Power

Abstract: We tested a hypothesis that low-load squat training with slow movement and tonic force generation (LST) would increase muscle size and strength but not necessarily power. Healthy young men were assigned to LST [50% one-repetition maximum (1-RM) load, 3 s for lowering/lifting without pause: n=9] or low-load normal speed (LN: 50% 1-RM load, 1 s for lowering/lifting with 1-s pause; n=7) groups. Both groups underwent an 8-week squat training program (10 repetitions/set, 3 sets/day, and 3 days/week) using the assig… Show more

“…Inter-day repeatability of the IAP, EMG, trunk flexion and extension strength, hip extension and knee extension strength, and lifting power were confirmed in our prior studies [≥0.83 for intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and ≤8.9 % for coefficient of variation (CV)] Usui et al 2016). For abdominal muscle thickness measurements, inter-day repeatability was examined on six young adult men with an interval of 2-3 days.…”

“…In the trunk extension task, the subjects lay prone on the bench with their legs extended, hips and feet fixed at 0° (anatomical position: 0°) on the seat with a strap, and upper trunk connected to the load cell using a belt. Torque values during maximal voluntary isometric hip and knee extension of the right leg were measured using a dynamometer (Biodex system2, Biodex Medical Systems, USA) with hip extension/flexion and knee extension/flexion attachments, respectively, in accordance with the procedure used in a prior study (Usui et al 2016). In the hip extension task, the subjects lay supine on an adjustable seat with support for the back and hip, and the torso was held tightly on the seat by non-elastic belts, with the hip joint kept at 90° (anatomical position: 0°) and the knee joint kept at 90° (anatomical position: 0°).…”
