NMES Effects on Substrate Metabolism and IGF-1

Metabolic Health, IGF-1, and Cardiovascular Fitness Responses to High-intensity Interval Training and Moderate-intensity Continuous Training in Combination with Superimposed Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

The aim of this study is to investigate whether neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) training coupled with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous aerobic training has an effect on the metabolic, cardiovascular and hormonal components compared to respective training protocols without concurrent NMES as a exercise performance enhancement strategy.

Inclusion Criteria:

- All participants were healthy with no musculoskeletal injuries and had not participated in lower-body resistance training for six months prior to the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals with musculoskeletal injuries and had participated in lower-body resistance training for six months prior to the study has been excluded from the enrollement for the current study.
