The aim of the study was to gain insight into the time course of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS)-induced inflammatory and endocrine factors over 72 h. Twelve healthy individuals (5 men, 7 women; 33.0 ± 12 years) randomly performed a single 20-minute high-intensity WB-EMS and a time- and in...
