Kots' Theory of Muscle Stimulation

Kots' Theory of Muscle Stimulation, developed by Russian scientist Nikolai Kots, focuses on the effectiveness of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) for enhancing muscle strength and performance. It proposes that controlled electrical impulses can activate muscle fibers, leading to strength gains and improved athletic performance. Kots emphasized the importance of optimizing stimulation parameters, such as frequency and duration, to mimic natural muscle contractions. This theory supports the use of EMS in rehabilitation and sports training, showcasing how stimulating muscles can complement traditional workouts and speed up recovery while increasing overall strength.
