NSU Professor Weighs in on New Device that Promises 6-Pack Abs Results

Jose Antonio, Ph.D., FNSCA, FISSN, CSCS,  director of the exercise and sports science program at NSU’s Dr. Pavalli Patel College of Health Care Sciences, spoke with Local 10 about the new device that promises to give 6-pack abs without exercise.

Emsculpt, the latest non-invasive body contouring technique, creates muscle contractions through electromagnetic energy. The manufactures claims that it forces the muscles to tighten more than physically possible from traditional exercise. Dr. Antonio said that there is no data comparing this device to exercise.
