Cyclergometry with functional electrical stimulation (FES-cycling) is a feasible method for rehabilitation. The concept is to promote exercise induced by depolarization of the motoneuron and muscular contraction.
To measure acute physiological responses to FES-cycling.
Retrospective study of data from ten healthy volunteers who performed FES-cycling, passive cycling and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) alone. Metabolic, ventilatory and cardiovascular parameters were analyzed.
Oxygen uptake enhanced 97 ± 15% during FES-cycling, with medium effect size compared to NMES and large effect size compared to passive cycling. Energy expenditure enhanced 102 ± 15% during FES-cycling, with medium effect size compared to NMES and large effect size compared to passive cycling. Minute ventilation enhanced 115 ± 26% during FES-cycling, with small effect size compared to NMES and medium effect size compared to passive cycling. Cardiac output enhanced 21 ± 4% during FES-cycling, with medium effect size compared to NMES and passive cycling. Arterial - mixed venous oxygen content difference enhanced 60 ± 8% during FES-cycling, with a medium effect size compared to NMES and large effect size compared to passive cycling.
FES-cycling enhances metabolic, ventilatory and cardiovascular demands and the physiological responses are higher than NMES and passive cycling.
功能性电刺激（FES）自行车运动是一种可行的康复方法。其理念是通过去极化运动神经元和肌肉收缩来促进运动。
测量 FES 自行车运动的急性生理反应。
回顾性研究了 10 名健康志愿者进行 FES 自行车运动、被动自行车运动和单独神经肌肉电刺激（NMES）的数据。分析代谢、通气和心血管参数。
FES 自行车运动时，耗氧量增加 97 ± 15%，与 NMES 相比具有中等效应量，与被动自行车运动相比具有较大效应量。FES 自行车运动时，能量消耗增加 102 ± 15%，与 NMES 相比具有中等效应量，与被动自行车运动相比具有较大效应量。FES 自行车运动时，分钟通气量增加 115 ± 26%，与 NMES 相比具有小效应量，与被动自行车运动相比具有中效应量。FES 自行车运动时，心输出量增加 21 ± 4%，与 NMES 和被动自行车运动相比具有中效应量。FES 自行车运动时，动脉-混合静脉血氧含量差增加 60 ± 8%，与 NMES 相比具有中效应量，与被动自行车运动相比具有大效应量。
FES 自行车运动增加了代谢、通气和心血管需求，生理反应高于 NMES 和被动自行车运动。
