[The effect of electromyostimulation on selected power parameters]
1Olympiastützpunkt Rheinland-Pfalz/Saarland.
Abstract:
Purpose of this comparative study was to estimate the influence of electrostimulation on several kinds of force: power, maximum strength and explosive strength by studying a control group and five training groups including sportsmen and non-sportsmen with injuries and without injuries. Intermittent electrostimulation--with and without active muscle training--caused significant changes in certain muscle activities. The results indicated that the combination of electrostimulation and an active muscle training increases mainly the power and explosive strength. This fact is important in rehabilitation after sports injuries and also for normal training.
