This study aimed to review the scientific literature on the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation to gain muscle power. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is defined as application of electric current at the neuromuscular junction and surrounding muscle fibers, in order to produce a visible muscle contraction due to the activation of intramuscular nerve branches.Among the benefits provided by this current we have the increase in strength through neuromuscular electrostimulation, which is also justified due to motor learning and neural facilitation, which would lead to a more efficient pattern of recruitment of motor units, with a greater number of them triggering impulses to a higher frequency. This study aimed to review the scientific literature on the gainmuscle power through the use of different neuromuscular electrostimulation currents.
