At the fifth and deepest level, tension must be produced for a decent duration AND all of this must occur within a given time window; distributed tension spread throughout the day (e.g., 30 one-second contractions spread over a full day) is less effective than concentrated tension (e.g., one 30-second contraction) because mechanosensors respond better to tension concentrated in a given time window.

“compare performing one set of a 30 second maximal isometric bench press contraction to performing 30 one second maximal isometric bench press contractions evenly spread throughout the full day... the first one the one set of a 30 second maximal isometric bench press contraction as it involves all the tension within a given time window which is probably more favorable for triggering the meccano sensors”
