Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
whole-body electromyostimulation
20 min of whole-body electromyostimulation with sequences of 6 sec of current and 4 sec at 85 Hz performed during low-intensity/low amplitude movements. 3 sessions / 14 days for 12 months
whole-body electromyostimulation
3 sessions of 18 min/14 (1,5 x week)days over 12 months. 10 low-intensity/low amplitude exercises with electromyostimulation equipment with 85 Hz with periods of 6 sec of current and 4 sec of rest.
wellness control group
Low intensity, low frequency exercise that focus on well being. 1 session/week for 10 weeks. 10 blocks of exercise with intermittent periods of 100 weeks of rest
wellness control group.
Light physical exercise and relaxation program once a week in blocks of 10 weeks with breaks of 10 weeks between the blocks. The low-intensity, low-volume program was designed to avoid impact on our endpoints.
