The “10/50/10” Treatment Regimen
Russian electrical stimulation is applied for a 10-second
“on” period followed by a 50-second “off” period, with a
recommended treatment time of 10 minutes per stimulation
session. The objective is to increase a muscle’s
ability to generate force, but what is often ignored is Kots’ recommendation that this form of electrical stimulation
should be used as an adjunct to exercise, rather
than as an alternative to exercise, and with electrical
stimulation sessions separate from bouts of voluntary
exercise.
