Age-related intramuscular fat accumulation relates to insulin resistance, therefore, countermeasures are needed, to decrease in intramuscular fat content. Electromyostimulation (EMS) has the acute effects on changes in oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activities, and chronic training effects on improvement of muscle atrophy and muscle function. However, the effects of EMS training on intramuscular fat in older adults are still poorly unknown. The aim of this study was to examine whether intramuscular fat index changes by EMS training for quadriceps femoris muscles in older adults.
