Evidence by Claim
STRONG / MODERATE EVIDENCE
• Increased muscle strength
• Improved body composition (muscle mass up, body fat down) - comparable to high-intensity training and time-efficient
EMERGING EVIDENCE
• Benefits for some musculoskeletal conditions and in middle-aged/older adults
LIMITED EVIDENCE / OPERATOR CLAIMS
• Large 'x times faster' fat-loss and strength figures used in marketing - need context
SAFETY NOTE
• Risk of rhabdomyolysis if sessions are too intense, especially for novices - requires gradual loading, hydration, contraindication screening and close supervision
