Description
Paulo Aizava and eight colleagues test whether adding whole-body electrical muscle stimulation to resistance training improves blood risk markers in sedentary middle-aged women. Twenty-three women trained twice a week for six weeks. Half wore the stimulation suit turned on during exercise. Blood lipids, glucose, liver enzymes, and inflammation markers were the main outcomes.
No test proved the pairing better than training alone. Still, cholesterol and LDL cholesterol fell clearly only in the stimulation group over time, and back strength improved there alone. The authors call the findings early and promising rather than proven. Bigger trials are needed to confirm whether the method truly speeds the heart and metabolic gains of resistance training in the menopausal transition.
