Engaging in weight-bearing and resistance exercises most days of the week is recommended to optimize bone health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of weight-bearing activity, such as walking, jogging ...
In medicine, EMS is used for rehabilitation purposes, for instance in physical therapy in the prevention muscle atrophy due to inactivity or neuromuscular imbalance, which can occur for example after musculoskeletal injuries (damage to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons).
Maybe most remarkable of all is the Russian gymnast who summoned the strength to compete at last summer’s Tokyo Olympics three months removed from undergoing Achilles surgery.
