The aim of the study is to determine the effect of whole body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) and/or nutritional on body composition and functional tasks in elderly females with sarcopenic obesity. Seventy-five, non-sportive, independently living women 70 years and older with Sarcopenic Obesity were randomly assigned to either a WB-EMS group ( n=25), a WB-EMS/nutritional supplements (n=25) or a semi-active control group (an=25). The WB-EMS protocol applied one session of 18 min/week of WB-EMS (bipolar, 85 Hz). Nutritional strategy based on a high protein supplement.
