Electromyostimulation (EMS) has been shown to improve body composition, but what biomarkers it affects has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare the EMS-effect of exercises with music on fatness and biomarker levels in obese elderly. Twenty-five women were randomly classified into a control group (CON) and EMS group (EMSG). EMS suits used in this study enabled the simultaneous activation of eight pairs with selectable intensities. Program sessions of EMS were combined with exercises of listening to music three times a week for eight weeks. Although both groups received the same program, CON did not receive electrical stimuli. Compared with CON, a significant effect of the EMS intervention concerning decreased fatness, as well as an increased skeletal muscle mass and basal metabolic rate, were evident. Tumor necrosis factor-a, C-reactive protein, resistin, and carcinoembryonic antigen of biomarkers were significantly different in the groups by time interaction. Similarly, the positive changes caused by EMS were represented in lipoprotein-cholesterols. The results indicate that a significant effect due to the EMS intervention was found concerning body composition and biomarkers in obese elderly women.
肌电刺激（EMS）已被证明可以改善身体成分，但它影响哪些生物标志物尚未得到研究。本研究的目的是比较带有音乐的 EMS 运动对肥胖老年人肥胖和生物标志物水平的影响。
25 名女性被随机分为对照组（CON）和 EMS 组（EMSG）。本研究中使用的 EMS 套装能够同时激活八对可选择强度的电极。EMS 程序与每周三次听音乐的运动相结合，持续八周。尽管两组都接受了相同的方案，但 CON 没有接受电刺激。
与 CON 相比，EMS 干预对肥胖的显著影响，以及骨骼肌质量和基础代谢率的增加，是显而易见的。生物标志物肿瘤坏死因子-α、C 反应蛋白、抵抗素和癌胚抗原在组间时间交互作用方面存在显著差异。同样，EMS 引起的积极变化也体现在脂蛋白胆固醇中。
结果表明，EMS 干预对肥胖老年女性的身体成分和生物标志物有显著影响。
