Does Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Actually Build Real Muscle Strength in Healthy Adults?
from Health Research Digest with Leo and Eva · host Leo and Eva
A 2023 systematic review in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research analyzed 10 studies involving 174 healthy adults and found that EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) was associated with improvements in measured muscle strength. However, the research did not show consistent improvements in real-world performance outcomes like sprinting or jumping. This Research Digest explains what EMS may realistically help with, what it may not change, and how to interpret the findings in a balanced, evidence-based way. 📚 Share it with someone who wants real, evidence-based answers about EMS and strength 💪 https://bit.ly/4aT8pyP
