The assessment of muscle strength, muscle bulk and muscle fat of the participants will be carried out at baseline before resistance exercises. the intensity of EMS would be 100A and it would remain same throughout training session. The current administered would be galvanic current. Initially the weight will be adjusted according to 1 repetition maximum, and it will increase 2kg after 3 week. 3 sets of every exercise would be performed; every set will have 12 repetitions.
