The training program was performed for 6 weeks and two sessions per week (WB-EMS: 20 minutes, 85 Hz, 350 µs, 6 s pulse duration, 4 s rest; and ST: 1-RM 60-80%, 3 sets, 8-12 repeats, 50-90 s rest between each set). In all three groups, BF%, LBM and Maximal Strength were measured before and after the training period.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Intragroup comparison in WB-EMS group showed a significant difference in BF% and LBM (P ≤ 0.05); while in the intergroup comparison, no significant difference was observed between the WB-EMS group and CG. Also in ST group, BF% and LBM values did not show any significant changes. There was also a significant difference in Maximal Strength in the intragroup comparison between both WB-EMS and ST groups and a significant difference between the WB-EMS group and CG and between ST group and CG in the intragroup comparison after the test (P ≤ 0.05); while there was no significant difference between WB-EMS and ST groups.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> According to the findings, it can be concluded that both types of exercise can improve maximal strength, although each of these exercises has its own benefits.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Health, sport, rehabilitation}, author={Sadeghipour, S. and Mirzaei, B. and Korobeynikov, G. and Tropin, Yu.}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={18–28} }
