Article Synopsis
- * A total of 21 women were evaluated for muscle thickness at rest, during the ADIM, and while using the EFCD, with waist circumference also measured.
- * Significant increases in thickness were observed in the TrA and IO muscles during both the EFCD and ADIM compared to resting, indicating that using the EFCD effectively activates the TrA, though differences between the two techniques were not statistically significant.
