Brief 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.
