We\n                    investigated the acute effects of electrical muscle stimulation on muscle\n                    strength and anaerobic power in soccer players. Nineteen healthy male soccer\n                    players (age=21.1\u00b11.6 y, training experience=10.1\u00b13.2 y, height=178.1\u00b14.0 cm,\n                    and body mass=8.9\u00b13.7 kg) participated in the study. A placebo effect was\n                    created without telling the participants that which current (intensity) was\n                    applied. After the current applied to the quadriceps muscles, strength and\n                    anaerobic power tests were performed. Perceived exertion assessment was also\n                    collected after the performance tests. The 75 Hz current exhibited better\n                    performance in dominant (p&lt;0.001 and d=0.75) quadriceps muscle\n                    group strength (kg). The 75 Hz current condition peak power had significantly\n                    higher values than 15 Hz (p&lt;0.05 and d=0.38) and 104 Hz\n                    conditions (p&lt;0.05 and d=0.60). Therefore, the 75 Hz current\n                    was the most successful in improving lower extremity strength and anaerobic\n                    power performances of soccer players. Future research should examine how to\n                    utilize sport-specific abilities related to strength and anaerobic power in\n                    soccer players for longer periods at peak.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2563-9289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,21]],"date-time":"2025-03-21T00:53:04Z","timestamp":1742518384000},"page":"501-509","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acute electrical muscle stimulation effects on strength and anaerobic\n                    power in soccer players"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Cem","family":"Sofuo\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Hasan Dogan Sport Sciences, Karabuk\n                    University, Karabuk, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0865-8857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael Akira","family":"Fujita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomechanics and Motor Control Laboratory, University of S\u00e3o Paulo,\n                    Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kadir","family":"Keskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports Sciences, Gazi University, Ankara,\n                    Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Okan","family":"Kami\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports and Health, Aksaray University,\n                    Aksaray, Turkey"},{"name":"Department of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation,\n                    Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom of Great Britain and\n                    Northern Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neslihan","family":"Ak\u00e7ay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Hasan Dogan Sport Sciences, Karabuk\n                    University, Karabuk, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.3390\/sports6040124","article-title":"Movement Economy in Soccer: Current Data and Limitations","volume":"6","author":"F Dolci","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sports"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"501","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200535060-00004","article-title":"Physiology of soccer: an update","volume":"35","author":"T St\u00f8len","year":"2005","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.2165\/11537690-000000000-00000","article-title":"Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power: Part 1 \u2013 Biological Basis of Maximal\n                    Power Production","volume":"41","author":"P Cormie","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"issue":"10","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1373","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279-015-0355-2","article-title":"Short-term Periodization Models: Effects on Strength and Speed-strength\n                    Performance","volume":"45","author":"H Hartmann","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1186\/s40798-015-0006-z","article-title":"Strength training in soccer with a specific focus on highly trained players","volume":"1","author":"J R Silva","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sports Med Open"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"281","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0000000000002609","article-title":"Hamstring-to-Quadriceps Torque Ratios of Professional Male Soccer Players: A\n                    Systematic Review","volume":"34","author":"B M Baroni","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Strength Cond Res"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1481.","DOI":"10.3390\/app12031481","article-title":"Effect of Post-Activation Potentiation on Sprint Performance after Combined\n                    Electromyostimulation and Back Squats","volume":"12","author":"C Sari","year":"2022","journal-title":"App Sci"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.2165\/00007256-200939020-00004","article-title":"Factors Modulating Post-Activation Potentiation and its Effect on Performance of\n                    Subsequent Explosive Activities","volume":"39","author":"N A Tillin","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sports Med"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.20448\/journal.522.2020.63.341.346","article-title":"The Acute Effects of Pre-Conditioning Activities with a Weighted Vest on\n                    Subsequent Linear Sprint and Change of Direction Performance in Physical\n                    Education Students.
