Background To better understand how prolonged electrical muscle stimulation can improve cardiorespiratory risk markers in obese subjects, we investigated the effect of prolonged combined thermal and electrical muscle stimulation (cTEMS) on peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and body composition with subsequent lipolytic and mitochondrial activity in adipocytes. Methods and results Eleven obese (BMI≥ 30 kg/m2) individuals received cTEMS in three 60-minute sessions per week for 8 weeks. Activity levels and dietary habits …
