The invention relates to physical therapy, in particular, to the methods of electric pulse stimulation of a living body (hereinafter - electric stimulation), and specifically to SCENAR-therapy or other methods of electric stimulation, where an inductive energy storage unit is used to generate stimuli, and can be applied for therapeutic, rehabilitation, and preventive purposes, as well as in making research related to the study of the electric stimulation effect on a living body. The first variant of the method for adaptive electric stimulation includes applying electrodes on biological object's tissues and transmitting through them bursts of electrical stimuli generated using an inductive energy storage unit, controlling the stimuli based on the processes occurring in these tissues as a result of their interaction with the electrodes and electrical stimuli, controlling the exposure duration and/or stimuli parameters according to the free oscillation parameters, wherein the free oscillation parameters are measured while the current stimulus burst is acting and based on the results of these measurements, one controls the parameters of the stimuli in the same burst and/or in the next burst and/or in any subsequent stimulus bursts and/or the repetition rate of subsequent stimulus bursts and/or exposure duration.The second variant is characterized in that one measures the free oscillation parameters of the last stimulus of each burst and controls the parameters of the stimuli in the next burst and/or in any subsequent stimulus bursts and/or the repetition rate of subsequent stimulus bursts and/or exposure duration.In the third variant at the end of each burst and before the beginning of the next burst, a probing stimulus is generated, wherein one measures the parameters of the free oscillations of the probing stimulus and controls the stimulus parameters in the next stimulus burst or in any subsequent stimulus bursts and/or the repetition rate of the subsequent stimulus
