What the Research Says: Can EMS Help Build Muscle and Fight Atrophy?

You’re starting to notice it — getting up from chairs feels harder, walks tire you more quickly, and your strength isn’t what it used to be. New research from Professor Volker Adams at Germany’s respected TU Dresden Heart Center, published in a leading scientific journal, found something specific: consistent EMS use can increase muscle mass by around 1% and improve muscle function by 10–15% in just 5–6 weeks. One study even showed 30% larger thigh muscles in adults over 75. This matters because maintaining strength helps you stay independent and active as you age. Backed by multiple human studies from a credible researcher, it offers real hope and practical options. Here’s what the science actually shows. https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/what-research-says-about-ems-for-muscle-atrophy
