Can EMS Trick Your Arteries Into Exercising?

from Health Research Digest with Leo and Eva · host Leo and Eva

This 2026 University of Georgia study suggests EMS may support circulation-related responses without pills or tablets, by directly activating muscles. Researchers stimulated eight lower-body muscle groups for 10 minutes and measured real physiological changes: whole-body oxygen use rose 36%, heart rate rose 22%, and muscle oxygen use increased around 12-fold. Using Doppler ultrasound, they also recorded a significant change in femoral artery blood-flow velocity after stimulation. This is legitimate research because it used named scientists, ethics approval, scientific equipment, and published data.
