In this paper, a review of the important parameters of the EMS applications and the differences caused by their arrangements, to better understand of EMS training, to plan of optimal EMS training application, to contribute to more effective use in sports by providing important information to researchers and coaches who want to use this method.Abstract:
Electromyostimulation (EMS), the electrical current applied externally muscle or nerve area to get muscle activation for the synchronous recruitment of fast motor units hard to be activated in voluntary contraction, is an unconventional and innovative training method used for the purpose of obtaining functional increases in athletic performance. The aim of this review was to reveal the important parameters of the EMS applications and the differences caused by their arrangements, to better understanding of EMS training, to plan of optimal EMS training application, to contribute to more effective use in sports by providing important information to researchers and coaches who want to use this method. Thus, this review focused on electrical current, amplitude, frequency, work time and the surface electrodes used in EMS training.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the location of the muscle motor points was identified by scanning the skin surface with a stimulation pen electrode and corresponded to the location where an electrical pulse evoked a muscle twitch with the least injected current.

TL;DR: The specific neuroprosthetic or “functional” applications reviewed in this article include upper‐ and lower‐limb motor movement for self‐care tasks and mobility, respectively, bladder function, and respiratory control.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for skeletal muscle function.
TL;DR: This review covers the aspects of electrical stimulation used for rehabilitation and functional purposes, including frequency, pulse width/duration, duty cycle, intensity/amplitude, ramp time, pulse pattern, program duration, program frequency, and muscle group activated, and how they affect fatigue in the stimulated muscle.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation. An overview and its application in the treatment of sports injuries.
TL;DR: It appears that when NMES and voluntary exercise are combined there is no significant difference in muscle strength after training when compared to either NMES or voluntary exercise alone, and there is also evidence that NMES can improve functional performance in a variety of strength tasks.
