Effect of Athletic Training on Fatigue During Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore the effect an individual's exercise training type will have on muscle fatigability during repetitive contractions induced by Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES). Thirty-four subjects comprising of competitive athletes and controls were recruited into three cohorts: Endurance (runners/cyclists) n = 13; nine male, four female; 27 ± 8 years old, Explosive (Lifters/Sprinters) n = 11; nine male, two female; 30 ± 7 years old, and controls n = 10, six male, four female, 26 ± 4 years old. Subjects were placed in a custom-made leg extension rig, and received NMES against a fixed resistance (NMES-FR), to the Vastus Medialis muscle resulting in isometric leg extensions, at a duty cycle of 1 s on/3 s rest, for 20 min.
