Previous research has shown that a novel form of neuro-muscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be used to bring about aerobic training effects in sedentary adults and in patients with heart failure. However, it is not clear whether this form of NMES could induce a significantly strong cardiovascular exercise effect in a more active group where a greater stimulus is required for training. In this study we investigated the aerobic training effects of repeated exposure to low frequency NMES in a group of physically active healthy adults. Results demonstrated a clinically and statistically significant training response following 18 trainings sessions, suggesting that this form of NMES has a role to play in cardiovascular exercise training in a physically active healthy population.
先前的研究表明，一种新型的神经肌肉电刺激（NMES）可用于在久坐不动的成年人和心力衰竭患者中产生有氧训练效果。然而，尚不清楚这种形式的NMES是否能在更活跃的群体中诱导出显著强烈的心血管运动效果，而该群体需要更大的刺激来进行训练。在本研究中，我们调查了一组身体活跃的健康成年人重复接受低频NMES后的有氧训练效果。结果表明，在进行18次训练后，出现了具有临床意义和统计学意义的训练反应，这表明这种形式的NMES在身体活跃的健康人群的心血管运动训练中具有一定作用。
