Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the benefit of
using low-intensity running or electromyostimulation (EMS) to hasten the recovery process from eccentric-contraction–induced injury.
Methods: Before and 30 min, 24 h, 48 h, and 96 h after a one-legged downhill run, electrical stimulations were applied to the femoral
nerve of healthy volunteers.
Superimposed twitches were delivered during isome
