Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of the study is to determine the effects of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) on body composition and muscle strength compared with the "golden standard" High Intensity Resistance Exercise Training (HIT) in healthy sedentary middle aged males.
