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. These exercises will be performed 3 days a week for 6 weeks. Readings of both the groups will be taken at baseline and at the end of last week.

These 4 exercises include Bicep curls, Triceps dips, Quadriceps chair and squats.The assessment of muscle strength, muscle bulk and muscle fat of the participants will be carried out at baseline before resistance exercises and the participants will be instructed, not to perform any kind of exercise during this period.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.
