What does TUT mean in the Fitness Industry?

​

Time under tension (TUT) refers to the duration your muscles are under strain during a set of exercises. It's a key concept in resistance training. TUT is typically measured in seconds and involves controlling both the lifting (concentric) and lowering (eccentric) phases of an exercise. By manipulating TUT, you can target different muscle fibers and achieve specific training goals, such as muscle growth (hypertrophy), strength, or endurance. For example, longer TUT can lead to greater muscle fatigue and hypertrophy, while shorter TUT may improve strength and power.​
