Resumen

El creciente interés y preocupación por la forma física, no solo desde el punto de vista deportivo, sino también desde el punto de vista estético, ha impulsado la búsqueda de nuevos métodos y tecnologías capaces de ayudar a ganar masa y tono muscular. Estudios recientes muestran que el 81% de los encuestados informaron estar insatisfechos con su imagen corporal, incluso con un 56% con un índice de masa corporal normal. La tecnología de estimulación muscular de campo electromagnético pulsado (PEMF) utiliza campos magnéticos alternos basados en la ley de inducción electromagnética para promover las contracciones musculares supramáximas. El PEMF genera impulsos independientes de la función cerebral, y con una frecuencia tan rápida que no permite la fase de relajación muscular, caracterizando las contracciones tetánicas. Las corrientes eléctricas y el electromagnetismo se han utilizado en fisioterapia y rehabilitación, especialmente para el fortalecimiento muscular. Sin embargo, la tecnología PEMF ha surgido como una alternativa más eficiente y menos incómoda para el paciente, con el objetivo principal de tonificar y fortalecer grupos musculares. En este trabajo, realizamos una revisión de la literatura de todos los artículos científicos disponibles e indexados en Pubmed y Web of Science sobre esta tecnología y sus efectos sobre la musculatura esquelética. Discutimos la evidencia científica disponible de los estudios clínicos y discutimos los efectos y posibles mecanismos de acción sobre la contracción muscular.
