Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a young and time effective training technology that focuses primarily on body composition (i.e. muscle, bone, fat tissue) and strength-related parameters (5, 7, 9, 13, 14). However, other health related outcomes (i.e. cardio-metabolic risk factors) (4) were also reported to be positively affected by WB-EMS. A direct comparison of WB-EMS and the slightly more time-consuming High Intensity (Resistance) Training (HIT) (WB-EMS: 1.5x20 vs. HIT: 2x30 min/week) Whole-Body Electromyostimulation – The Need for Common Sense!
