Effects of EMS Training on Muscle Strength

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the effects of EMS induced muscle strengthening on muscle strength and muscle bulk in young healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Will Electrical muscle stimulation significantly improve muscle strength in young adults. The participants falling in our inclusion criteria will be given a brief description about the exercise protocol. After informed consent, the participants will be randomized into two groups: Group A (Experimental group) and group B (Control group). Both groups will perform 10 minutes of same warm up exercises (Arm swings, jogging on the spot, Walks on treadmill). After warm up exercises, the participants in Group A (Experimental group) will perform resistance exercises with induced EMS while Group B (Control group) will perform same resistance exercises without EMS.

Clinical Trial Description

The Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a popular technique in the fields of physical therapy, rehabilitation, and sports training for decades. EMS involves the use of electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, which can help prevent muscle atrophy, improve blood flow to the area, and promote healing. It has also been used to increase muscle strength and endurance, making it an effective tool for rehabilitation and sports training. Some research has suggested that EMS may improve muscle mass, but this is likely to be a result of increased muscle activation and recruitment, rather than actual muscle hypertrophy (i.e., an increase in the size of individual muscle fibers). In other words, EMS may help to strengthen existing muscle fibers and improve muscle tone, but it is unlikely to result in significant increases in muscle size The aim of this study is to investigate the potential effects of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) training on muscle strength in young and healthy adults. EMS involves the use of electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, and it has been suggested as a time-efficient and effective method for increasing muscle strength and overall fitness. However, there is limited scientific evidence on the effectiveness of EMS training on muscle strength in young and healthy adults. Therefore, this study aims to address this gap in the literature by examining the effects of EMS training on muscle strength in this population. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
