The Claim
In trained males, strength-type and cluster-type resistance training with high loads are associated with greater time under tension and impulse generation per repetition compared to hypertrophy-type training, suggesting these mechanical factors may contribute to superior strength adaptations.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When trained men lift heavy weights using certain training styles, they spend more time under tension and generate more force per rep than with other styles, which might help them get stronger.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that lifting heavier weights with short breaks (like strength and cluster training) keeps muscles under tension longer and builds more force per rep than lighter, higher-rep training, which matches the claim and shows it leads to better strength gains.
