Electrifitty Study: The Effect of Electrostimulation on Aerobic Exercise
On several occasions, we have analyzed how whole-body electrostimulation affects different sports like crossfit, running or golf. Aerobic exercise, together with strength exercise, are the two main pillars of sports practice, whether for fun, performance or entertainment (1). Both variables indicate, in a global way, a person’s health and physical fitness (2). This time, we […]
Effect of the combination of whole-body neuromuscular electrical stimulation and voluntary exercise on metabolic responses in human
Electrostimulation (NMES) can recruit high-threshold motor units and improve glycolysis, the combination of NMES and low intensity voluntary exercise would induce aerobic and anaerobic energy consumptions and this type of exercise could be more efficient and effective than conventional exercise. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the metabolic responses and muscle fatigue during […]
Effects of whole-body electromyostimulation on physical fitness in postmenopausal women
Physical activity has a fundamental role in the prevention and treatment of the inconveniences associated with advanced age, such as chronic diseases, functional limitation and dependency. Postmenopausal women are associated with loss of strength and power [2] along with increased weight and fat mass [3,4], which may be due in part to decreased physical activity […]
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 […]
Exercise training as S-Klotho protein stimulator in sedentary healthy adults
Introduction S-Klotho is considered a potent biomarker of longevity and has several functions in anti-aging, such as the regulation of calcium metabolism and phosphate metabolism (reducing apoptosis cell death), also, reduces the inflammatory process and oxidative stress , protecting cells from oxidative stress. In this way an anti-aging effect is obtained. Several studies have reported […]
Alternative exercise technologies to fight against sarcopenia at old age
Introduction The purpose of this document is to summarize our results and corresponding experiences in this promising area and, in general, to review the effect of both technologies, whole body vibration and whole body electrostimulation (WB-EMS) on muscle mass and function in older adults. Method and Results In one of the articles that appears in […]
Impact of WB-EMS on body composition in elderly women at risk for sarcopenia
Introduction The objective of this article is to determine the effect of 12 months of WB-EMS exercise on muscle mass and total and regional fat in thin, non-sports and osteopenic women 70 years of age or older. The main hypothesis was that WB-EMS training significantly affects total and regional muscle mass compared to a semi-active […]
Whole-body electromyostimulation to fight osteopenia in elderly females
Introduction The main hypothesis of this trial was that WB-EMS training significantly increases bone mineral density in the lumbar spine compared to a control group. Our secondary hypothesis was that WB-EMS training significantly affects bone mineral density in the proximal femur compared to the control group. Method 76 osteopenic women living in the community 70 […]
Influence of whole-body electrostimulation on human red blood cell deformability
Introduction The effects of WB-EMS on performance could be very useful not only for athletes, but also for patients with microcirculation disorders such as patients with diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis or sickle cell disease, as they could reduce the risk of clinical complications. Method 15 male soccer players competing in the fourth division of the German […]
WB-EMS to fight sarcopenic obesity in older women
Introduction WB-EMS is a time efficient technology and also physically less stressful that positively affects muscle mass, fat mass and functional capacity generating high adherence in subjects no athletes. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of WB-EMS women with sarcopenic obesity with and without protein supplementation. Method 67 women with high […]
