No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will find out if 100 minutes of electrical stimulation of muscle prevents the unfavorable consequence of insufficient exercise.

Conditions

  • Fat Metabolism

Interventions

OTHER

neuromuscular electrical stimulation

The study participants will engage in 100-minutes of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). NMES pads are sticky pieces of plastic, similar in size to a 25-cent coin. The pads will be placed on the bellies of thigh muscles (the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis), and calf muscles (the long and short head of the gastrocnemius). These skeletal muscles are selected due to their size (thereby promoting a bigger increase for metabolic rate compared with a small muscle), because they are relatively superficial, and because previous published studies of NMES used these anatomical locations.
