No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether self-selected neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) affects energy expenditure, glycaemia and hormonal responses in healthy men and women

Conditions

  • Energy Expenditure
  • Metabolic Health

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sitting

Participants sat in a chair with back, arms and legs supported.

BEHAVIORAL

Standing

Participants were asked to stand with arms supported and feet spaced approximately 15 cm apart. If needed, adjustment of standing posture was allowed during standing trial to prevent orthostatic hypotension.

BEHAVIORAL

Self-selected maximal intensity of neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Small electrodes placed (5\*5 cm) on the lower limb of both legs. The instruction for NMES intensity was that the maximal intensity participants were be able to withstand for 2 hours whilst imagining sitting at home watching TV without feeling discomfort.
