Interventions

The subjects were randomly assigned to the cycling group (CG) performing cycling training without electrical stimulation or the FES-cycling group (FES-CG) performing the same training with the assistance of electrical stimulation. The duration of the training program was 20 minutes. The target cycling cadence was set at 45 rpm.
