Analysis of Compliance with Time under Tension and Force during Strengthening Exercises with Elastic Bands

Quantifying training variables of a physical exercise modality is essential for an appropriate dosage. In training with elastic bands, time under tension (TUT) and force represent the duration and intensity of this force-training modality. The aims of this study were to evaluate the degree of compli...

Analysis of Compliance with Time under Tension and Force during Strengthening Exercises with Elastic Bands
