Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a young and time-effective training technology. Comparing the effect of WB-EMS with conventional resistance training,both methods were reported to be similarly effective on muscle mass, strength and cardiometabolic risk. However, due to its exceptional ti...
