Immediate Effects of Dynamic Electrostimulation on the Abdominal Muscles in Healthy Individuals, Assessed by Ultrasound: an Experimental Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 120 (actual)
• Sponsor: Universidad de León · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 35 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

To determine the immediate effects on the abdominal musculature, assessed by ultrasound (RUSI), due to the application of electrostimulation using whole body electrostimulation together with physical exercise in healthy people and to compare with the application of local EMS in the abdominal area and the same physical exercise session. The same intervention is carried out for the control group as the WB-EMS group but simulated.

Detailed description

Evaluation of the immediate changes in the thickness of the abdominal muscles (Transversus abdominis, Internal and External Oblique and Rectus abdominis) and in the Interrectus distance after the physical exercise session together with whole body electrostimulation or local electrostimulation assessed by ultrasound (RUSI) in healthy people.

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	WB-EMS (Whole body electrostimulation)	Application of physical exercise and electrical stimulation on the abdominal muscles through the WB-EMS during 20 minutes training session with specific exercise (CORE)
DEVICE	EMS	Application of physical exercise and electrical stimulation on the abdominal muscles through the EMS during 20 minutes training session with specific exercise (CORE)
DEVICE	WB-EMS off	Application of physical exercise without electrical stimulation on the abdominal muscles through the WB-EMS off during a 20 minutes training session with specific exercise (CORE).
