摘要
Thirty-seven healthy subjects took part in an investigation to determine if the application of electrical stimulation to normal muscle, in combination with exercise, augments strength. Subjects were divided into three groups. Group A (n=14) was a control group (no exercise, no electrical stimulation). Group B members (n=11) engaged in 10 sessions of maximum isometric exercise, and Group C subjects (n=12) performed 10 sessions of maximum isometric exercise while simultaneously receiving electrical stimulation. The knee muscles of subjects in Groups B and C increased in strength. However, the strength gains for groups B and C were equivalent, suggesting that electrical stimulation combined with maximum isometric contractions has no greater effect on enhancing strength than does conventional static exercise.
