TLDR
It was concluded that a single bout of electrical stimulation exercise resulted in greater GH response and muscle damage than voluntary exercise.Abstract:
This study aimed to compare voluntary and stimulated exercise for changes in muscle strength, growth hormone (GH), blood lactate, and markers of muscle damage. Nine healthy men had two leg press ex...read more

Physiological and methodological considerations for the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation
TL;DR: The main aim of this review is to discuss some evidence-based physiological and methodological considerations for optimal use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in healthy and impaired skeletal muscles.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation training induces atypical adaptations of the human skeletal muscle phenotype: a functional and proteomic analysis

TL;DR: Adaptations in the protein pattern of the ACT and SED groups were different but were, in both groups, typical of both resistance and endurance training, and can be ascribed to the peculiar motor unit recruitment pattern associated with NMES.

Electromyostimulation--a systematic review of the influence of training regimens and stimulation parameters on effectiveness in electromyostimulation training of selected strength parameters.
TL;DR: The primary purpose of this study was to point out the preconditions for producing a stimulus above the training threshold with EMS that activates strength adaptations to give guidelines for implementing EMS effectively in strength training especially in high-performance sports.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is high-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation a suitable tool for muscle performance improvement in both healthy humans and athletes?
TL;DR: Overall, NMES cannot be considered as a surrogate training method, but rather as an adjunct to voluntary resistance training, and the combination of these two training modalities should optimally improve muscle function.

TL;DR: The novel findings of the present study, i.e., macrophages infiltration, lack of desmin staining, and z-line disruption, provide direct evidence of damage at the myofiber and sarcomere levels, support the hypothesis that muscle damage in young, healthy men can be induced without lengthening muscle contractions.

Hormonal Responses and Adaptations to Resistance Exercise and Training
TL;DR: It appears that this acute response to resistance exercise is more critical to tissue growth and remodelling than chronic changes in resting hormonal concentrations, as many studies have not shown a significant change during resistance training despite increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy.

Pathophysiology of the neuroregulation of growth hormone secretion in experimental animals and the human
TL;DR: The pathophysiology of the GHRH somatostatin-GH-IGF-I feedback axis is reviewed and it is proposed that this system is best viewed as a multivalent feedback network that is exquisitely sensitive to an array of neuroregulators and environmental stressors and genetic restraints.

Rapid increase in plasma growth hormone after low-intensity resistance exercise with vascular occlusion
TL;DR: It is suggested that extremely light resistance exercise combined with occlusion greatly stimulates the secretion of GH through regional accumulation of metabolites without considerable tissue damage.

Recruitment patterns in human skeletal muscle during electrical stimulation.

TL;DR: The majority of evidence suggests that EMS-induced motor unit recruitment is nonselective and that muscle fibers are recruited without obvious sequencing related to fiber types, which the authors believe contributes to increased muscle fatigue when compared with voluntary actions.

Injury to skeletal muscle fibers of mice following lengthening contractions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, with the protocol used, lengthening, but not isometric or shortening contractions, caused significant injury to muscle fibers.
