Brief Summary

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

Abstract Aim of the Study: This study aimed to compare the effects of Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) exercise on physical performance in sedentary women.

Methods: Our study was conducted with a total of 27 sedentary women, 12 EMS, and 15 controls, aged 19-24 years. The tests administered to the participants were the Modified Push-Up Test (MPU), Hand Grip Strength Test (HS), Bent Arm Hanging Test (BAH), Single Leg Hop Tests (SLHT) \[single hop for distance (SH), triple jump for distance (TH) and cross triple jump for distance (CH), medial side triple jump for distance (MSTH)\], Deep squat (DS), V-Sit Flexor Test (V-sit), Sit-Up Test and Biering Sorensen (Bie-sor) tests. All tests were repeated pre-mid-post and each test period was randomized with practice cards.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1: Electrical Muscle Stimulation Exercise Group

Participants in this group received neuromuscular electrical stimulation (EMS) concurrently with a standardized exercise protocol for a duration of 20 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Intervention 1: Exercise + EMS Intervention Type: Device (because EMS is applied using a device)

Intervention Name: Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Description: Simultaneous electrical stimulation is applied to the lower extremity muscles using an EMS device. The application lasts for 20 minutes and is performed concurrently with the exercise protocol.

Exercise-Only Group

A standardized exercise protocol performed for 20 minutes without the use of EMS

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Exercise Protocol

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The standard exercise protocol is applied for 20 minutes without the use of EMS. The same protocol is also applied in the EMS group.
