Abstract(s)
Whole Body Electromyostimulation [WB-EMS] is a training methodology that applies
electrostimulation in the main muscle groups of the human body superimposed with active training
exercises. This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis on WB-EMS to provide an overview of
the state of research and provide new insights for research in the field. Method: One hundred and
two citations extracted were examined using a bibliometric approach based on data stored in the Web
of Science Core Collection, applying traditional bibliometric laws, and using VOSviewer and excel
for data and metadata processing. Results: Among the results, this study points out that Germany is
the country that produces more scientific knowledge on WB-EMS. Wolfgang Kemmler is the most
relevant author in this field. Moreover, Frontier of Physiology is the journal where the authors publish
the most. Conclusion: Research on WB-EMS has been growing in recent years. German and Spanish
researchers lead two clusters where most studies and collaborations in this field are carried out. These
findings will provide a better understanding of the state of WB-EMS research and may guide the
emergence of new lines of investigation and research ideas.
