Effects of a Whole-Body Electrostimulation Program on Strength, Sprinting, Jumping, and Kicking Capacity in Elite Soccer Players.
TLDR
The results give first hints that two sessions of a dynamic WB-EMS training in addition to 6-7 soccer sessions per week can be effective for significantly enhancing soccer relevant performance capacities in professional players during competitive season.
Effects of a 10-Week Resistance Exercise Program on Soccer Kick Biomechanics and Muscle Strength
TLDR
The results suggest that increases in soccer kicking performance after a 10-week resistance training program were accompanied by increases in maximum strength and an altered soccer kick movement pattern, characterized by a more explosive backward-forward swinging movement and higher muscle activation during the final kicking phase.
Effects of combined electrostimulation and plyometric training on vertical jump and speed tests

Effects of electromyostimulation training on jumping and muscle strength in football players
Purpose: Electromyostimulation is a popular training to increase muscle strength during the last years. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of electromyostimulation training on jumping…
Effects of electrostimulation and plyometric training program combination on jump height in teenage athletes.
TLDR
An eight week training program (with just two days per week) of EMS combined with plyometric exercises has proven useful for the improvement of every kind of vertical jump ability required for sprint and hurdles disciplines in teenage athletes.
Effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on torque and performance in recreational distance runners: A randomized controlled trial.
Effects of Resistance Training and Whole-Body Electromyostimulation on Muscular Strength in Female Collegiate Softball Players
TLDR
The findings demonstrate the efficacy of both training modalities for increasing muscular strength and suggest that TRT should be prioritised over whole-body electrical stimulation training for increase muscular strength in collegiate softball players.
Superimposed Whole-Body Electrostimulation Augments Strength Adaptations and Type II Myofiber Growth in Soccer Players During a Competitive Season
TLDR
WB-EMS can serve as a time efficient training method to augment strength capacities and type II fiber myofiber growth in soccer players when combined with specific resistance training and may be a promising training modification compared to traditional strength training for performance enhancement.
Training Effects of Alternated and Pulsed Currents on the Quadriceps Muscles of Athletes.
TLDR
Quadriceps NMES training applied through alternated or pulsed currents produced similar effects in architecture and neuromuscular performance in competitive athletes.
The Influence of WB-EMS-Training on the Performance of Ice Hockey Players of Different Competitive Status
TLDR
It is demonstrated that WB-EMS training significantly decreased 10 m skating time and increased jumping power and maximum isokinetic force at 300°/s and an increase in performance might also be achieved for athletes in lower leagues.

Electrostimulation training effects on the physical performance of ice hockey players.
TLDR
It was demonstrated that an EMS program of the knee extensors significantly enhanced isokinetic strength (eccentric and for two concentric velocities) and short skating performance of a group of ice hockey players.
EFFECTS OF ELECTROMYOSTIMULATION TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH AND POWER OF ELITE RUGBY PLAYERS
TLDR
A 12-week EMS training program demonstrated beneficial effects on muscle strength and power in elite rugby players on particular tests, however, rugby skills such as scrummaging and sprinting were not enhanced.
Effects of Electromyostimulation Training and Volleyball Practice on Jumping Ability
TLDR
When the aim of EMS resistance training is to enhance vertical jump ability, sport-specific workouts following EMS would enable the central nervous system to optimize the control to neuromuscular properties.
Electromyostimulation and plyometric training effects on jumping and sprint time.
TLDR
EMS alone or EMS combined with plyometric training leads to increase maximal strength and to some hypertrophy of trained muscles, however, EMS training alone did not result in any improvement in jumping explosive strength development or even interfered in sprint run.
The effects of electromyostimulation training and basketball practice on muscle strength and jumping ability.
TLDR
Electromyostimulation as part of a short strength-training program enhanced knee extensor strength and squat jump performance of basketball players.
Effects of isometric squat training on the tendon stiffness and jump performance
TLDR
The results suggest that isometric squat training changes the stiffness of human tendon–aponeurosis complex in knee extensors to act negatively on the effects of pre-stretch during stretch-shortening cycle exercises.
Electrical stimulation and swimming performance.
TLDR
Results showed that an electrostimulation program of the latissimus dorsi increased the strength and swimming performances of a group of competitive swimmers.
Isokinetic strength and anaerobic power of elite, subelite and amateur French soccer players.
TLDR
It is concluded that hamstring strength is extremely important in soccer players for joint stabilization during various tasks, notably in eccentric action and short-sprinting performance may mirror actual game situations at high level and could be an important determinant of match-winning actions.
Training effects of sub-maximal electrostimulation in a human muscle.
TLDR
It is indicated that electrostimulation augments the muscle force of contraction by changing peripheral processes associated with intra-cellular events, without modifying the nervous command of the contraction.
Effects of the type of recovery training on the concentric strength of the knee extensors.
TLDR
Findings confirm the mode specificity principle, as only the concentric specific training programme improved the concentrate strength of the knee extensors following an initial standardized period of excessive training.
