PATHFIT2 Week 6 Lesson 5 Unit 5 Time Under Tension TUT Work Out Copy of Students

Time-under-tension (TUT) refers to the amount of time a muscle is held under tension during an exercise. During TUT workouts, each phase of an exercise is slowed down to increase the total time muscles are under tension. This forces muscles to work harder and optimizes strength, endurance, and growth. TUT workouts incorporate slowing down movements in exercises like weightlifting and bodyweight training to spend more time in difficult phases and under muscular tension, which may yield better strength and muscle-building results. Examples of TUT exercises provided include high dips, pushups, squats and lunges performed in a slowed, controlled fashion to maximize time under tension.

Time-Under-Tension (TUT) Workout

Time-under-tension (TUT) refers to the amount of time a muscle is held under


tension or strain during an exercise set. During TUT workouts, you lengthen each
phase of the movement to make your sets longer. The idea is that this forces your
muscles to work harder and optimizes muscular strength, endurance, and growth.
The total of time a muscle is placed under strain or held under tension over the
course of an exercise set is known as the Time under tension (TUT). The idea during
TUT workouts is to lengthen each phase of the movement to make your sets longer.

Here, it forces the muscles to work harder and optimizes muscular strength,
endurance, and growth. Exercises that use the TUT method include weightlifting and
bodyweight training. During the TUT workouts, movements slowed down in each
repetition and spend more time on the difficult phase of the exercise. By slowing down
the movement, the muscle is held under tension for a longer period, which may yield
better results.

Examples of Time-Under-Tension (TUT) Workout


Benefits of Time-Under Tension Workouts
TUT workouts are designed to create tension in your muscles for a longer period of time,
which leads to muscle growth. The harder you make your muscles work, the better results
you'll see. Bigger, stronger muscles enhance muscular control, improve bone mineral density,
and lower body fat percentage.

Maximize Time-Under-Tension
