EMS with resistance training for weight lifters
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests combining electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) with your regular weightlifting to see if it boosts strength and performance. It may help you build muscle more effectively.

This study looks at whether combining a special diet with whole-body electromyostimulation (a type of training that uses electrical impulses to make your muscles work) can help with obesity. It aims to see if this approach can help you lose weight and improve your health.
This study tests whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (a treatment that sends gentle electrical signals to your muscles to make them work during exercise) can help postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese improve their health. It may help you manage your weight and feel stronger.
This trial tests if a special muscle stimulation device called EMS can help astronauts stay fit during spaceflight. It may prevent muscle loss in zero gravity.
This trial tests whether using small electrical pads on the legs can help keep muscle strength in patients who are on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs. It aims to see if this treatment can prevent muscle loss during recovery.
