Purpose: Rhythm exercise, such as walking, is effective in reducing stress associated with mental disorders, including anxiety and depression. Belt electrode skeletal muscle electrical stimulation (B-SES) can promote muscle contraction at a constant rhythm throughout the lower limbs without voluntary effort. B-SES may serve as a therapeutic strategy similar to rhythm exercise. The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of B-SES on stress on the basis of salivary amylase levels, a highly reliable stress index.
