Conventional exercise that improves health include cardiovascular, muscle hypotrophy, metabolic levels, and cognitive health. But in most cases, individuals failed to meet the minimum amount of exercise per week recommended. Lack of recommended exercise levels will result negatively in result column, which then leads to lack of motivation and efforts. Whole-Body Electro Muscle Stimulation (WB-EMS) training can be solution for individuals, who desire results, lack motivation, have no time for conventional training. The research completed by Kemmler and colleagues (2018) summarised the effect of WB-EMS on health-related outcomes in non-athletic adults.

RESEARCH DESCRIPTION

This research aimed to evaluate the effects, limitations, and risks of WB-EMS as a training tool for non-athletic individuals. A total of 23 studies were summarized and the effect of WB-EMS on muscle hypotrophy risk factors, functional capacity, and cardio-metabolic risk factors was analyzed.

RESEARCH RESULTS

Studies about WB-EMS found significant improvements in muscle mass of an adult independent of age, gender and training status. Which shows WB-EMS improved muscle hypotrophy irrespective of the physical status of the adult and also resulted in significant reduction in back pain compared to other groups. Efficiency of day-to-day activities like walking, grip strength, etc. significantly improved with WB-EMS training, which directly contribute towards improvement in quality of life particularly in non-athletic adults and older adults. Along with efficiency of activities, body composition also improves particularly in the abdominal area and other improvements are waist circumference

CONCLUSION

The effects WB-EMS training were notable for better health improvements in non-athletic individuals with no adverse effects were noted with proper application of WB-EMS with safe training guidelines for non-athletic adults and also for individuals with less time.
