Neuromuscular Eletroestimulation in Torque for Long Distance Recreational Runners

"NMESIn this exercise protocol for quadriceps strengthening using NMES, the medium-frequency alternating current (1KHz with 10% of the work cycle) 4 will be used. The total daily training time is 900sec (15min), it is expected to perform 45 contractions per training, with three workouts per week for six weeks.~RUN: It will be allowed to carry out training drills that comprise 15-40Km per week, being allowed a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 training sessions per week, not being able to carry out drills of explosion and during each training must be covered at least 5km and at most 15km. These limitations were based on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) cardiorespiratory training guidelines to minimize confounders of cardiopulmonary performance."
