What If Your Shortest Session Still Trained Everything?

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

A University of Turin study compared Whole body EMS and traditional resistance training in 20 sedentary women for 10 weeks. Researchers tracked 1-RM squat, hammer curl, and plank time every two weeks. Both groups gained similarly: squat +36% vs +34%, curl +42% vs +33%, plank +103% vs +65%. No time × group interaction appeared. This evidence suggests EMS can help build comparable strength in only 20 minutes weekly instead of two hours in the gym. The supervised, repeated-measures design supports credibility. Read the full post for methods, limits, and who should try EMS. https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/ems-vs-gym-strength-study-20-minutes
