A new meta-analysis reveals that combining electrical muscle stimulation with resistance training leads to increased strength and muscle mass.
If building strength and muscle mass is part of your New Year’s resolution, you might consider adding a new element to your workout routine.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), also known as electrical muscle stimulation, uses electrical currents to trigger muscle contractions. According to Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at El Paso, these stimulation devices are user-friendly and widely available. However, he has often wondered, “Can these stimulators offer any benefits when used during resistance training? What does the research say?”
