The research examined two teams of individuals – one carried out a three-second arm contraction twice per week, and the opposite repeated it thrice. 

The ‘arm contraction’ was akin to slowly reducing a heavy dumbbell, from a bent arm to a straight arm.

Analysis discovered that, for this specific train, a repetition of two-days per week noticed no important modifications, nonetheless the three-day group noticed small however important will increase in concentric power (2.5 per cent) and eccentric power (3.9 per cent).
