ELECTRIFYING YOUR WORKOUT CAN BOOST MUSCLE MASS STRENGTH A team of researchers discovered that combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation with resistance training results in greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.If building strength and muscle mass is part of your New Year’s Resolution, you may want to add a new routine to your workout. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), or electrical muscle stimulation for short, uses electrical currents to contract muscles. The stimulation devices are easy to use and widely available on the market, according to Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at El Paso, but he has often wondered, “Can these stimulators offer any benefits when used during resistance training? What does the research say?” READ MORE
