Fractal Paced

The intervention consists in a metronome-paced strength training session performed 3 times per week (with 48h of rest between sessions), during 4 weeks. Each session consists in 4 sets of 15 repetitions at 65% of the one-repetition maximal (1RM) in single leg extension machine, synchronizing each repetition with fractal external cues presented by a visual metronome. The rest between sets will be set at 2 minutes of rest between sets.

OTHER

Isochronous Paced

The intervention consists in a metronome-paced strength training session performed 3 times per week (with 48h of rest between sessions), during 4 weeks. Each session consists in 4 sets of 15 repetitions at 65% of the one-repetition maximal (1RM) single in leg extension machine, synchronizing each repetition with isochronus external cues presented by a visual metronome. The rest between sets will be set at 2 minutes of rest between sets.

OTHER

Self Paced

The intervention consists in a metronome-paced strength training session performed 3 times per week (with 48h of rest between sessions), during 4 weeks. Each session consists in 4 sets of 15 repetitions at 65% of the one-repetition maximal (1RM) in single leg extension machine, at their own self pace (with no metronome). The rest between sets will be set at 2 minutes of rest between sets.
