We explain why some people better withstand electrical intensity
In the previous post “This is how the electrical intensity determines the results of our training” we made a brief analysis of the electrical intensities that are supported at the RPEs that we set at the beginning of the investigation (5/10, 7/10 and 8/10) . We were able to verify that an average increase of […]
Substrate oxidation could be related to an improvement in body composition
In today’s post, we are going to focus on the oxidation of energy substrates and its variation with respect to a conventional cardio exercise. It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the collaboration of the Profith group of the University of Granada, the analyzes carried out come from a gas analyzer. What does substrate oxidation […]
This is how electrostimulation affects fat burning and nutrient oxidation
Metabolic inflexibility is characterized by the inability to use the appropriate energy substrates in each environmental situation. The body produces energy through two different metabolisms. On the one hand, we find energy production whose main substrate is carbohydrate, which is found in cereals such as pasta or rice. On the other hand, the other energy […]
This is how Electrostimulation in low frequencies affects Energy Expenditure
Obesity is considered one of the most prevalent diseases in today’s society and its condition leads to important health problems (1). The induction of a negative energy balance (energy expenditure greater than intake) is necessary for the reduction of body weight (2). Training with Whole Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) has already been shown to have benefits […]
Effect of Aerobic Exercise and WB-EMS on Muscle Strength
The Electrifitty study aimed to analyze the added effect of whole-body electrostimulation on various health and sports performance variables. Among all the variables, we highlight strength testing as an important parameter of body composition. However, we must be aware that cardiovascular training has never produced improvements in muscle strength levels. At Wiems Lab, we wanted […]
Effect of Aerobic Exercise and WB-EMS on Body Composition
We have already analyzed in the previous post how we conducted the Electrifitty Study and the variables used in aerobic exercise. In this post, we are going to delve into other variables, those related to body composition and DXA. It is worth noting that body composition and anthropometric measurements are, in addition to body image […]
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 […]
Creatine kinase and electrostimulation: Can electrostimulation training cause muscle damage?
In previous posts such as Visceral fat and transaminases, How does WB-EMS training affect body composition? and Improving Body Composition in Men with the WB-EMS, we analyzed the role that WB-EMS training has had on different variables, both health and aesthetic. Now, in this post, we are going to talk in depth about the type […]
The Effect of WB-EMS on Visceral Fat and Transaminases
The liver and liver function are key health parameters. By contrast, higher visceral fat is related to poor organ function. The truth is that visceral fat, unlike subcutaneous fat or peripheral fat, is more relevant to health. Visceral fat deposits are known to cause systemic damage associated to diabetes, high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease. […]
Physical Condition: Improving Muscle Strength and Cardiovascular Fitness with WB-EMS
Strength levels and cardiovascular fitness are the two most important variables that determine a person’s physical condition. Physical fitness is considered a powerful marker of current and future health (1, 2). In fact, it has been shown that muscle strength is inversely associated with the risk of all-cause mortality regardless of other potential factors (3). […]
