Effects of WB-EMS superimposed on the increase of type II fiber strength in soccer players in competitive season
Improving short-term physical performance in high-performance soccer players is of crucial importance. Therefore, ensuring a proper recovery after a match and the integration of effective strength programs to systematically increase football-relevant strength parameters during the competitive season is a demanding task for the coach. Due to the lack of time, the implementation of alternative training […]
Effects of WB-EMS on the reduction of muscle mass induced by energy restriction during weight loss
Whole body electrostimulation (WB-EMS) is a novel technology that helps us save training time by producing greater adherence to training and is highly customizable. Therefore, WB-EMS could be a very effective alternative for those who have little time to train and low adherence to training [2]. Recent studies have confirmed that WB-EMS has a comparable […]
The influence of WB-EMS training on the performance of ice hockey players of different competitive status
Introduction: For the past few years, Full Body Electrostimulation (WB-EMS) has found its place in strength training planning. Several studies in professional athletes of various types of sport have shown that complementary training with WB-EMS can achieve efficient results in terms of strength gains [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. In a systematic review on EMS [9], we examined maximum […]
Effects of WB-EMS on hitting strength and speed in softball players
Batting speed is an essential component for successful hitting in softball and baseball sports [2,3]. In one study it was found that batting speed can be increased through sport-specific gesture training and muscle strength can be increased [4]. Furthermore, in other studies it was found that the increase in rotational force of the trunk, upper […]
Effects of different training programs (WB-EMS, HIIT …) on body composition
As we already know, physical training is very important to achieve important benefits in body composition. Concurrent training where resistance training and cardio are combined induces a decrease in body fat and increases muscle mass in sedentary men and women. In addition, resistance resistance training was found in one study to improve sedentary bone mineral […]
The use of WB EMS together with protein supplements improves body composition in older people with sarcopenia
Introduction The hypothesis of this study was to determine whether WB-EMS with protein supplementation significantly improves local sarcopenic obesity by increasing muscle mass volume and decreasing fat volume compared to a control group. Method Subjects in this study were divided into a group with WB-EMS + Protein Supplementation (n = 24) and a control group […]
Is it really effective to do physical exercise with medium-frequency devices?
Is it effective to train with medium-frequency devices? There is a lot of uncertainty regarding electrostimulation’s use parameters and what type of parameters are the most effective. For example, if we focus on frequency, we see how, according to the electrostimulation system that we analyze, it is defended that it is better to use medium-frequency […]
The medium frequency and low frequency EMS have a similar efficiency in strength and discomfort
The gains in muscle strength is directly related to the degree of tension of muscle contraction caused by electrostimulation. This means that as the intensity of the current and the pulse duration of the electrostimulation increase, the gains in force increase, because a large number of motor units are activated. This occurs regardless of the […]
Chronic effects of superimposed EMS during cycling on aerobic and anaerobic capacity
Introduction Electrostimulation (EMS) is a method of close training that is mainly used in strength training. On the other hand, no studies have been conducted to date on resistance performance and its metabolic and cardiorespiratory adaptations related to local electrostimulation during cycling. For this, a 4-week training period was designed with two groups; one with […]
Does EMS enhance post-exercise performance recovery?
Introduction Elite sport requires high volume and high intensity training. Knowing that, we must take into account the stressful components of training, as well as the repetition of competitions as in team sports, this inevitably affects the performance of athletes. Therefore, this review will examine the effects of electrostimulation in the recovery of the ability […]
