resistance training

Zahra Fatahimeiabadi, a graduate student in the lab of Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at El Paso (not pictured), demonstrates a resistance workout while using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Bajpeyi leads a team of researchers whose new meta-analysis study, published this month in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, found that combining NMES with resistance training leads to greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.

Adding Electrical Stimulation to Workouts Boosts Muscle Gains, Study Shows

Kylie Williams and Bob Guldberg look at the way resistance training can improve bone regeneration after a major injury, specifically measuring bone strain over the course of healing.
