Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
"usual care" control group receives individualized nutritional support (dietary advices: daily protein intake \> 1.0 g/kg bodyweight)
No interventions assigned to this group
WB-EMS group
physical exercise group regular WB-EMS training (2 EMS trainings per week; each session for 20 min)
\+ individualized nutritional support (dietary advices: daily protein intake \> 1.0 g/kg bodyweight)
Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS)
WB-EMS training is performed 2x/week for 12 weeks; Stimulation protocol: Frequency of 85 Hz, pulse duration of 0.35 ms, stimulation period of 6 sec, resting period of 4 sec; supervised by certified training instructors/physiotherapists participants perform simple exercises during the stimulation period following a video tutorial
