LFES may enhance oxidative capacity in sedentary adults; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific responses, needs larger trials before practice change.
Does low-frequency electrical stimulation alter skeletal muscle metabolic enzyme profiles in sedentary men and women?
Low-frequency electrical stimulation induces significant aerobic metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle, with some sex-specific differences in glucose and fatty acid metabolism enzymes.
Gauthier et al. (1992) studied this question.
