Conventional exercise programs to increase strength are based on the overload principle of eliciting a small number of high-intensity contractions in an intervention session performed several times a week for a couple of weeks. How does NMES for the augmentation of strength differ from this?
A) NMES cannot be used to augment strength.
B) NMES uses electrical stimulation to help elicit the muscle contractions to augment muscle strength.
C) NMES is not capable of eliciting enough of a muscle contraction to augment muscle strength.
D) NMES needs to be performed for only 10 contractions to augment muscle strength.
