Shocking strength: EMS workout tested on couch potato women
NCT ID NCT07246772
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) exercise can improve strength in women who don't exercise regularly. Twenty-seven women aged 19-24 took part, with 12 doing EMS and 15 as controls. They were tested on various strength measures like push-ups, grip strength, and leg hops over 8 weeks. The goal was to see if EMS could boost physical performance in a sedentary group.
