Hypertension is a frequent condition in untrained middle-aged to older adults, who form the core group of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) applicants. So far, the acute effects of varying impulse intensities on blood pressure responses have not been evaluated in normo- and hypertensive people. Thirteen hypertensive and twelve normotensive...

Zusammenfassung „Trainingsinhalte“ sind „konkrete Maßnahmen zur Realisierung des/der geplanten Trainingsziel(e)s“. Im Bereich der Forschung am Knochen bietet sich eine Einteilung der Trainingsinhalte (oder Belastungstypen) in mechanisch lokale wie axiale Belastung, Muskelzugsbelastung, Belastungsverteilung sowie einen systemisch übergreifenden „Kno...

Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a training technology that enables simultaneous stimulation of all the main muscle groups with a specific impulse intensity for each electrode. The corresponding time-efficiency and joint-friendliness of WB-EMS may be particularly attractive for people unable or unmotivated to conduct (intense) conventio...

Vertebral fractures are frequent clinical consequences of osteoporosis. Considering the demographic change in Europe, the number of vertebral fractures will quite likely increase during the next decades. Apart from pharmaceutic agents and physiotherapy, spinal orthoses are established elements of conservative therapy for vertebral (body) fractures....

Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS), an innovative training technology, is considered as a joint-friendly, highly customizable and particularly time-effective option for improving muscle strength and stability, body composition and pain relief. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 16 weeks of once-weekly WB-EMS on maxim...

In their recent viewpoint and article, Stöllberger and Finsterer 1 2 criticize the inadequate regulation of “whole body-electromyostimulation” (WB-EMS), potentially responsible for a variety of adverse effects recently reported. 3-6 Indeed, in contrast to locally applied EMS, the stimulation of all, or at least most, major muscle groups characteriz...

Full-text available
Rare but regularly recurring complications are leading to ongoing regulation of the commercial, non-medical whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) market. In addition to the revised German Radiation Protection Statutes (NiSV), the ?Deutsche Industrie Norm? (DIN) 33961-5 was recently published with safety policies for WB-EMS application, anchorin...
Article
Full-text available
Purpose: Overweight and obesity are an increasing problem worldwide. However, most studies that focus on weight reduction by energy restriction and/or aerobic exercise reported considerable loss of muscle mass as well. Increased protein intake and/or resistance exercise might inhibit this detrimental effect during a negative energy balance. Whole-b...

Background/objective: In soccer the recovery time between matches is often not long enough for complete restoration. Insufficient recovery can result in reduced performance and a higher risk of injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of Deep Oscillation (DO) as a recovery method. Methods: In a randomized crossover study...

Purpose Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most frequent chronic conditions worldwide. Data from a recent meta-analysis indicated that whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS), a time-effective, joint–friendly, and highly individualized training technology, demonstrated promising effects on LBP; however, methodologic limitations prevent definitive...

Exercise positively affects most risk factors, diseases and disabling conditions of middle to advanced age, however the majority of middle-aged to older people fall short of the exercise doses recommended for positively affecting cardio-metabolic, musculoskeletal and neurophysiological fitness or disabling conditions. Whole-Body Electromyostimulati...

Background Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a geriatric syndrome characterized by the disproportion between the amount of lean mass and fat mass. Exercise decreases fat and maintains muscle mass; however, older people fail to exercise at doses sufficient to affect musculoskeletal and cardiometabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the...

Einleitung: Ein aufwändiges und intensives Körpertraining zur Therapie der „Sarcopenic Obesity (SO)“ kann oder möchte von vielen der älteren Betroffenen nicht mehr durchgeführt werden. Die zeiteffiziente, gelenkschonende und individualisierbare Ganzkörper-Elektromyostimulation (WB-EMS) könnte hier eine geeignete Option darstellen. Methode: Im Rahme...

Background: People with mental disabilities have an increased risk of cardio-metabolic diseases. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to reduce the Metabolic Syndrome through specific workplace programs. ›Methods: The effects of two exercise interventions (resistance training (KT): n=35; cardio-metabolic training (HK): n=37), compared to an inacti...
