The negative changes of muscle from maturation to senescence and the corresponding loss of function have important clinical significance.The most physiological way to combat the decline in muscle mass and function is an active lifestyle and even better physical activity.In fact, numerous exercise studies have shown that changes in muscle mass, strength, and strength parameters are beneficial.However, in order to achieve changes in muscle mass, strength, and strength, exercise must be done regularly, at a moderate frequency (>=2 times/week) and at a moderate to high intensity.Due to physical limitations or lack of motivation, a large number of older subjects apparently seemed unable or unwilling to perform the corresponding resistance training program.In this context, techniques that increase the impact of low-level exercise on the musculoskeletal system are highly relevant.EMS is a technique to stimulate large muscle groups through electrical stimulation (electromyostimulation of the whole body) training.
