Pilot study assesses electrical stimulation training effects on muscle strength and thickness in healthy individuals, suggesting mixed tolerability.

Maximal electrically evoked torque increased significantly from 48% to 101% of MVC among completers after the training.
Participants showed slight improvements in isometric strength post-training, with pre-test values averaging 278 Nm and post-test averages at 282 Nm.
Muscle thickness improved from 44.3 mm to 45.9 mm, indicating potential benefits from electrical stimulation eccentric training.
High-intensity electrical stimulation was tolerated variably, with some subjects experiencing transient knee pain during the intervention.

Gravholt et al. (2025) studied this question.
