NCT03417323

Brief Summary

The study address two main topics:

  1. 1.The effect of compression garment on whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) induced muscle soreness in young adults
  2. 2.The repeated bout effect of one intense session of WB-EMS as determined by various regeneration parameters
