This study included 18 male runners (age=29.3¡À3.2 years, fat percentage=11.3¡À2.6%, body height=1.77¡À.04 m, body mass=73.4¡À4.4 kg, time in 5 km=20.6¡À2.4 min, training years=4.3¡À0.7 years). First, volunteers were anthropometrically evaluated, and they performed one-repetition maximum (1RM) 45o leg press (LP) strength test. Second, they performed an incremental protocol in the 45o LP to acquire the electromyographic threshold. Third, they completed a 5-km time trial run (5 km basal). In the fourth session, they performed NRTP in LP. And fifth, the 5-km time trial run was performed at 30 min, 48 h, 96 h, and 144 h post the NRTP intervention. A significant decrease (p¡Ü.05) was observed when baseline values were compared with post 30 min and post 48 h (p=.02 and p=.04, respectively). However, there were significant positive differences in performance (p=.04 for time) when baseline values and post 144 h were analyzed. Therefore, it is concluded that the NRTP can be used by 5-km distance runners to improve their performance with a break of one week between the intervention and test %K performance %K endurance %K physiology and exercise %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=344939
