Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Via the Peroneal Nerve Reduces Muscle Soreness Following Intermittent Exercise
June 25, 2015 updated by: Firstkind Ltd
Numerous techniques are reported to enhance recovery following intense exercise, however there is equivocal support for such claims.
A novel technique of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) via the peroneal nerve has been shown to augment limb blood flow which could enhance recovery following exercise.
The present study examined the effects of NMES, compared to graduated compression socks on muscle soreness, strength, and markers of muscle damage and inflammation following intense intermittent exercise.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: experimental group
All participants performed a modified version of the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST; Nicholas et al, 2000), an exercise protocol designed to simulate the activity pattern characteristics of intermittent sports such as soccer.
The LIST was performed on three occasions, at the same time of day, each separated by approximately four weeks.
Following each exercise trial, one of three recovery interventions were applied, the order of which were randomly allocated.

passive recovery following exercise test
graduated compression socks worn after test exercise
neuromuscular electrical stimulation device worn after test exercise
