Int J Sports Physiol Perform. 2006 Dec;1(4):406-7. doi: 10.1123/ijspp.1.4.406.

Abstract

After a brief introduction on electrostimulation methodology and applications in competititve sport for performance optimization, this technical report presents the principal effects of electrostimulation-induced resistance exercise on neuromuscular features. The advantages and limitations of this technique compared with those of voluntary exercise training are also discussed.
