Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

WB-EMS improves muscle strength in elite soccer players (Filipovic et al., 2016), in postmenopausal women (Kemmler et al., 2010) and in healthy middle-aged men without training (Kemmler et al., 2016).<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fifteen healthy male recreational runners were recruited, who had been running 2-3 times a week and had no previous experience with WB-EMS. Three participants did not complete the study (due to work and family reasons) and were excluded from the additional analysis (total number 12 runners).<\/p>\n

The WB-EMS training program consisted of six sessions (1 per week). Before starting the program, participants held a familiarization session to learn movement patterns and adapt to electrical stimuli.<\/p>\n

The 12 runners were divided into two groups: Functionalized and periodized career training group with WB-EMS (PFG) (n = 6) and traditional training group with WB-EMS (TG) (N = 6).<\/p>\n

Functionalized and periodized career training group with WB-EMS (PGF) (n = 6)<\/em><\/p>\n

The training sessions were divided into four parts (participants only made movements when receiving electrical impulse in all cases):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Warm-up (W).<\/li>\n
  2. Strength workout (S).<\/li>\n
  3. High intensity interval power training (HP).<\/li>\n
  4. High intensity interval training (HT).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The electrical parameters, except the pulse intensity, were modified in different parts of the session.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Traditional training group with WB-EMS (TG) (n = 6).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    The TG<\/strong> program consisted of training interventions applied in previous WB-EMS studies (Kemmler et al., 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016; Kemmler and von Stengel, 2013). Electric impulse and training load increased throughout the program. Pulse intensity was individually adjusted by RPE (Borg, 1982) every 2 minutes during all sessions. The sessions were structured in a circuit format and consisted of 10 dynamic and general exercises without external load.<\/p>\n

    Results<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    The VO2max increased in the group in the PGF group while in the TG group there were no significant changes in the VO2max.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    As for the maximum aerobic speed increase in the PGF group and in the TG group no changes were observed.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    The career economy improved in the PGF group but not in the TG group. An improvement in the strength of the lower train<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    was observed in both groups.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Conclusion<\/strong><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    A functionalized WB-EMS training program for periods of 6 weeks produces a considerable improvement in VO2max, VT2,<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    running economy and lower train strength in recreational runners compared to a traditional WB-EMS training program.<\/div>\n

    More studies are needed to better understand the practical applications of this new training methodology in other<\/div>\n
