电刺激法出现于19世纪末,起初用于医学治疗。将电刺激法用于体育训练则始于1970年。前苏联人柯茨(Kotz)第一个用电刺激法研究它对运动员在力量增长方面所起的作用。他对运动员的肱二头肌和小腿三头肌分别进行了电刺激,所取得的结果是颇为惊人的;在9天的电刺激训练(每次10分钟)之后,肱二头肌的力量增加了27%,19次电刺激后力量增加了38%;小腿三头肌在19天内力量增加了50%,弹力增加了11%。在柯茨所作的工作之后,电刺激法开始被应用 Electrostimulation occurred in the late 19th century, initially for medical treatment. The use of electrical stimulation in sports training began in 1970. Former Soviet Kotz was the first to use electrical stimulation to study its role in athlete growth. His electrical stimulation of the biceps and triceps muscles of the athletes, respectively, produced quite spectacular results; after 9 days of electrical stimulation training (10 minutes each), the strength of the biceps An increase of 27%, 19 times the power increased by 38% after stimulation; calf triceps strength increased by 50% in 19 days, the elastic increased by 11%. After Cox’s work, electrical stimulation began to be applied
