Eletromioestimulação para aumento de força muscular: uma revisão narrativa
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.34117/bjdv9n10-040Keywords:
estimulação elétrica transcutânea, fadiga muscular, contração muscularAbstract
A eletroestimulação excita nervos periféricos e recruta unidades motoras. Associada ao exercício físico promove não só a hipertrofia, mas outras adaptações como aumento na velocidade de ativação muscular. Porém as pesquisas ainda são controversas, muito por conta de não existir uma parametrização para o uso da técnica. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar os efeitos da eletroestimulação no processo de contração muscular. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura que analisou pesquisas que associam efeitos do uso da eletromioestimulação combinados ao exercício físico. A presente revisão verificou que além da hipertrofia muscular, as adaptações neuromusculares proporcionam aumento no dispêndio energético do músculo, no ângulo de penação, na velocidade de ativação muscular e da atividade eletromiográfica, mas combinar exercício físico com eletromioestimulação pode ocasionar lesão muscular.
