Abstract: This study examines the awareness, knowledge, satisfaction, and willingness to learn about Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) among sports students in Trichy. A sample of 80 respondents was surveyed using a structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression techniques. Findings reveal that 65% of students are aware of EMS, with younger students (17–20 years) reporting significantly higher knowledge levels than older cohorts (p = 0.017). 92% of respondents say they are interested in learning more, and satisfaction among EMS users is noticeably high. Formal EMS training is the best predictor of knowledge, according to regression research, but academic year, gender, and course level have no discernible effects. 38% of the variation in EMS knowledge can be explained by the model. These findings point to the necessity of focused instructional efforts, especially for senior citizens, and recommend that sports curricula include practical workshops and organised training regimens. Evidence-based sports practices, better rehabilitation results, and increased athletic performance can all be attributed to increased EMS awareness and application.
