OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of rest time (ten minutes) on muscular strength production during a training session under electrical stimulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The isometric force output of the quadriceps femoris muscle was recorded during four sessions of stimulation of five minutes (15 maximal contractions: five seconds on and 15 seconds of rest), on 13 healthy adults. These four sessions are spaced out of ten minutes of recovery. The frequency of current is 100Hz. RESULTS: At the 60th contraction, muscular force reaches 53±7% of MVC. This value is significantly more important comparatively with a training session without rest time inside (27±6% of MVC). CONCLUSION: The efficiency of electrical stimulation to improve muscle strength seems to be dependent on number of contractions per session with a high level of force production (>=60% de MVC). The protocol including intermediate periods of recovery seems more effective in order to produce a high level of force during all the training session. |
