Improving metabolism with neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on improving insulin resistance in overweight and obese individuals. Participants will wear an accelerometer to track physical activity and follow a standardized diet before undergoing an 8-week intervention. They will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: a control group receiving sensory-level stimulation, an NMES group with higher intensity stimulation, a resistance training combined with NMES group, or a resistance training only group. The study aims to assess changes in insulin sensitivity before and after the intervention.
