Summary

This study looked at whether electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) helps climbers recover from arm fatigue better than just resting. Ten male climbers did a climbing workout to tire their forearms, then tried either EMS or passive rest. The goal was to see which method helped them climb better afterward. The results could give climbers a new tool for between-climb recovery.
