Same Workout. One Group's Muscles Grew. One Didn't.

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

Twenty-eight elite soccer players. Three groups. Seven weeks. The result? Only the Whole Body EMS group improved — recording a 15.1% leg press strength increase (p=0.009) and 8.5% leg curl increase (p=0.026). Muscle biopsies confirmed 8.9% growth in Type II muscle fibres (p=0.023) — the exact fibres behind muscle tone and definition. The group that trained identically without EMS? Absolutely zero significant gains.  Published in Frontiers in Physiology by German Sport University Cologne — the EMS difference simply could not be any clearer. https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/whole-body-ems-muscle-gain-strength-research
