Summary
The training effect on muscular endurance was studied by voluntary effort as well as electrical stimulation. The results were summarized as the followings:
-
1.
The endurance of the muscle was observed to be about 13% of final voluntary contractions higher by electrical stimulation than that by voluntary contractions.
-
2.
After the training for 12–13 weeks, the muscular endurance was increased by about 130% in voluntary muscle contractions.
The number of contractions due to electric stimuli, given after complete exhaustion in voluntary contraction, was practically the same in the beginning and in the end of one experiment.
