Background: Researchers studies effect of EMS at different intensities on energy expenditure (oxygen and calories) in healthy adults. Method: 40 sedentary healthy adults (18 males, 22 females) underwent EMS across various intensities (E1 – sensory level, E2 – motor threshold, E3 – maximal intensity comfortably tolerated). Cardiopulmonary gas exchange was evaluated during rest, EMS and […]

Background: Researchers studies effect of EMS on maximum oxygen uptake, aerobic and gas exchange thresholds, running economy and muscular power in male recreational runners. Method: 12 men (6 test, 6 control) were studies. Test clients were trained using EMS once per week for 6 weeks. Further, the EMS group reduced the running training frequency to

Background: Researchers wanted to examine guidelines for applying EMS to whole Body and to determine the efficacy and safety of applying EMS to healthy men to improve cardiopulmonary and psychophysiological variables. Method: Sixty-four participants were randomly grouped into control group (no EMS – 15 Female, 18 Male) or test group (received EMS – 15 Female,

Background: Researchers conducted WB-EMS trial to determine the corresponding effect on chronic, nonspecific LBP in people with chronic LBP. Method: Thirty patients, 40-70 years old, with Lower Back Pain were assigned to Test group (15 patients) and Control group (15 patients). Test group underwent WB-EMS once a week for 12 weeks with slight movements, specifically

Background: Researchers studies effect of 14-week dynamic EMS training on muscular strength, sprint, jump, kicking velocity in elite soccer players during competitive season Method: 22 Soccer field-players were selected – 12 were test group (EMS) and 10 were control group (jump-training). Training was conducted twice a week concurrent to 6-7 soccer training sessions during 2ND

Background: Researchers studied efficacy of quadriceps muscle EMS 48 hours after total knee surgery, as an adjunct to standard rehabilitation Method: Sixty-six patients between ages of 50 and 85 were randomly assigned standard rehabilitation (control group) or standard rehabilitation plus EMS applied to quadricep muscles (initiated 48 hours after surgery). EMS was applied twice per

Background: Researchers studied the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on changes in strength, endurance, selected anthropometric measures and subject’s perceived shape and satisfaction of the abdominal wall. Method: Experimental group consisting of 24 adults stimulated their abdominals 5 days per week (20-40 minutes per session) for 8 weeks and refrained from engaging in any additional exercise during
