Abstract
Electrical stimulation devices have been widely used for therapy and muscle strength training. This study aims to develop these stimulation devices in weight loss, fat percentage, and waist circumference programs for overweight women. Ten respondents who had never undertaken strenuous physical activity aged between 25-35 years were selected with BMI criteria> 25.0 kg / m2, fat percentage> 25%, and abdominal circumference> 80 cm through pretest measurements. Respondents underwent EMS training with isometric body movement training. The training is carried out twice a week for 12 meetings with 80% training intensity (60-80 Hz flow). The post test results showed that the average weight difference was 6.49%; average difference in fat percentage of 15.54%; and the average waist circumference difference of 6.74%. So, bodyweight training with EMS can significantly reduce body fat percentage, and waist circumference.
Findings
Based on the results of research and discussion that has been described, it can be concluded that bodyweight training using EMS can significantly reduce body weight, fat percentage, and waist circumference.
