Whole-body electromyostimulation as a topic of scientific research

Based on almost 20 years of experience in human intervention research with high methodological standards, the Institute for Medical Physics of the University Erlangen-Nuremberg has now intensified its efforts in the field of ‘innovative training and rehabilitation technologies’. Following various new possibilities of application, we quickly began to focus our research on whole- body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS). This interest is reflected in a multitude of training studies which not only address different acute questions and problems concerning WB-EMS but are also of interest for different population groups. The following overview shows some of the issues which we regard as of particular...
