Galileo Reserach Facts No. 3: Do high frequencies cause more muscle activation?
This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different leg muscles at different training frequencies between 5Hz and 30Hz. Is showed that high training frequencies (25-30Hz) lead to up to 4 times (+300%) higher muscle activation than low frequencies (5-10Hz). Muscle strength training should therefore be done at frequencies of 25 Hz and higher...
