Introduction.

Electrostimulation is a method of training used in sports that has been shown to be effective in improving strength manifestations such muscle power. Currently, there is no known scientific literature in which a training program with electrostimulation suit is applied. Therefore, the aim of this study is to carry out a program to see the effects on neuromuscular adaptations in untrained subjects.

Objective.

to study the neuronal and muscular adaptations that occur in the active electrostimulation training applied with a full body suit on the extensor muscles of the arms and extensors of the leg.

Material and methods.

A randomized controlled study between groups. The experimental design of the study will allow us to analyze the neuromuscular adaptations that occur with the electrostimulation training applied with a full body suit and compare them to those of a traditional strength training. The dependent variables measured will be: electromyography activity in maximum isometric force test, maximum force value, force production rate, neural adaptation indicators. The program will be carried out during 24 sessions, twice a week, for 12 weeks.

Expected results.

We expect to achieve greater neuromuscular activation with the combination of electrostimulation applied with full body suit. Regardless of the results obtained, the final study will be published.
