From my own personal experience...I just ran the NYC marathon on Nov 4th. .... when I got back to my hotel, I did active recovery* on my hamstrings, calves, and quads.

EMS allows to fine tune muscles toward  the development of force, endurance, and faster recovery from sport performance and muscle soreness. More details ...
