Abstract
Electromyostimulation (EMS) is a widely used therapeutic tool of low-frequency electrotherapy in several areas of rehabilitation, with gradual use increasingly in sports as well. The main goal of our article is to approach the use of EMS in sports based on available studies. EMS can be called as a training method used to obtain muscle activation through externally applied electric currents to the muscles to achieve a functional increase in sports performance by training fast motor units. Even if, based on the available study database, there are no clear conclusions regarding the effectiveness and application of EMS in the sense of sports, we can say that EMS represents one of the means by which we can influence muscle functionality, not only in terms of rehabilitation, but also as a possible way of increasing sports performance.
