The role of metabolites in strength training II: Short versus long isometric contractions. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 71, 337–341In a related study, long fatiguing isometric muscle actions (four isometric muscle actions lasting 30 seconds each) were compared to shorter and less fatiguing isometric muscle action (four sets of 10 contractions, each lasting three seconds) [7]. Although the muscle was under tension for the same amount of time (120 seconds), gains in muscle strength were greater with the longer isometric muscle actions, which caused a greater amount of muscle fatigue.
