The Claim
Whole-body low-intensity slow-tempo resistance training produces similar increases in blood lactate concentration during exercise as high-intensity normal-tempo resistance training, despite lower mechanical workload, indicating that heightened anaerobic metabolism contributes to its effectiveness.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When doing slow, gentle weight training for your whole body, your muscles get just as tired and produce the same chemical buildup as fast, hard training—even though you're not lifting as heavy. This means your body is working hard in a different way to make the exercise effective.

Whole-body LST resistance training produces similar increases in blood lactate concentration during exercise as HN training, despite lower mechanical workload, suggesting heightened anaerobic metabolism contributes to its effectiveness.
