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 […]
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 […]
WB-EMS and protein supplementation favorably affect sarcopenic obesity in community-dwelling older men at risk
Introduction Whole body electrostimulation (WB-EMS) may be a good option for older subjects at risk of sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity. In addition to exercise, protein supplementation can favorably address sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in older people. 14,15 The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of WB-EMS and protein (whey) […]
