BEffect of repetition duration on muscle hypertrophy
Schoenfeld BJ, Ogborn DI, Krieger JW · 2015 · Sports Medicine 45(4):577-585
REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence
Methodology
Systematic review with meta-analysis
Findings
Within a broad range, the tempo of a repetition makes little difference to muscle growth.
Practical conclusion for REZA
Tempo prescriptions at REZA are used to control technique and form, not because a particular tempo itself produces more muscle growth.
