Abstract
This review of the published literature presents and discusses major findings and observations concerning the effects of high frequency electrical stimulation (ES) on strengthening the quadriceps femoris of healthy subjects. The paper does not focus on clinical studies, although clinical uses of ES, suggestions for further research, and measurement considerations are dis cussed.Keywords
