Does EMS Training Improve Muscle Quality? Japanese study says yes.

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

What if the electricity that makes your muscles contract could also make them better? In a new study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences, researchers followed 39 people through an 8-week NMES programme and discovered something remarkable: not only did strength jump 9.3% and muscle size grow up to 6.4%, but muscle quality improved too — with a clear 4% drop in echo intensity, a sign of less fat and denser tissue. Whether you train for looks, performance or just want results without wrecking your joints, this changes everything. Here’s exactly why it could transform the way you build your body.   https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/nmes-training-improves-muscle-quality
