About

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.
