Resumen
This study evaluates the effects of a 6-week lower body Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) training program on body composition, muscle function, and arteriosclerosis markers in postmenopausal women.

Menopause is associated with a rapid decline in estrogen, which increases the risk of sarcopenia (muscle loss) and arterial stiffness (cardiovascular disease). While resistance training is effective for these condition...

ExperimentalLower Body EMS + Resistance Training Group
Participants perform lower body resistance training while wearing a lower body EMS suit. Each session lasts 50 minutes (10-min warm-up, 30-min main exercise, 10-min cool-down). EMS stimulation is applied exclusively during the 30-minute main exercise phase (85Hz, 350µs). This program is conducted twice a week for 6 weeks.
Lower-body Electromyostimulation (LB-EMS) device
Electrical stimulation applied to the lower body muscles (85Hz, 350µs) during the main exercise phase
Lower Body Resistance Training
A 50-minute session consisting of a 10-minute warm-up, 30 minutes of main lower body resistance training (4 types of machine-based exercises per session), and a 10-minute cool-down
Comparador activoResistance Training Only Group
Participants perform the identical lower body resistance training program without EMS stimulation. The session structure (10-min warm-up, 30-min main exercise, 10-min cool-down) and total duration (50 minutes) are the same as the experimental group.

Sin intervenciónControl Group
Participants maintain their usual daily lifestyle without engaging in any new exercise programs during the 6-week study period.

Resultado primario
Medida de resultadoDescripción de la medidaPeriodo de tiempo
Brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV)
An indicator of arterial stiffness. Higher values indicate stiffer arteries. Unit of Measure: cm/s
Baseline and Week 6
Resultado secundario
Medida de resultadoDescripción de la medidaPeriodo de tiempo
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)
The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is the ratio of the systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle to the systolic blood pressure measured at the brachial artery. It is a non-invasive indicator used to assess the presence and severity of peripheral arterial stenosis or occlusion. Lower ABI values (typically \< 0.9) suggest narrowing or blockage of the arteries in the legs. Unit of Measure: ratio
Baseline and Week 6
Skeletal Muscle Mass
Assessed using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Represents the total weight of muscle tissue attached to the skeleton. Unit of Measure: kg
Baseline and Week 6
Total Body Fat Mass
Assessed using BIA. Represents the total weight of adipose tissue in the body. Unit of Measure: kg
Baseline and Week 6
Body Fat Percentage
Assessed using BIA. The proportion of fat mass relative to total body weight. Unit of Measure: %
Baseline and Week 6
Extracellular Water to Total Body Water Ratio (ECW/TBW)
Assessed using BIA. An indicator of body fluid balance and edema. Higher values may indicate fluid retention or inflammation. Unit of Measure: ratio
Baseline and Week 6
Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI)
Calculated as appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) divided by height squared (kg/m\^2). Used to assess sarcopenia status. Unit of Measure: kg/m\^2
Baseline and Week 6
Phase Angle
Assessed by BIA. It reflects cellular membrane integrity and nutritional status. Higher values generally indicate better cellular health. Unit of Measure: degree
Baseline and Week 6
Pre-ejection Period (PEP)
Time interval from the onset of ventricular depolarization (QRS complex) to the beginning of ejection. Reflects myocardial contractility. Unit of Measure: ms
Baseline and Week 6
Left Ventricular Ejection Time (ET)
The duration of blood flow ejection from the left ventricle into the aorta. Unit of Measure: ms
Baseline and Week 6
Heart Rate Corrected Ejection Time (ETc)
Ejection time adjusted for heart rate, typically using Bazett's formula. Unit of Measure: ms
Baseline and Week 6
Upstroke Time (UT)
Time from the foot to the peak of the pulse volume waveform. A marker for arterial stiffness or stenosis. Unit of Measure: ms
Baseline and Week 6
ET/PEP Ratio
The ratio of ejection time (ET) to pre-ejection period (PEP). An index of left ventricular performance and efficiency. Unit of Measure: ratio
Baseline and Week 6
Percent Mean Arterial Pressure (%MAP)
The position of mean arterial pressure relative to the pulse pressure range. Used as an indicator of the pulse wave shape and vascular aging. Unit of Measure: %
Baseline and Week 6
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
The average pressure in a patient's arteries during one cardiac cycle. Unit of Measure: mmHg
Baseline and Week 6
Pulse Pressure (PP)
The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is a marker of arterial stiffness. Unit of Measure: mmHg
Baseline and Week 6
Peak Torque (Knee Extension/Flexion)
The maximum torque produced during isokinetic knee extension and flexion. Assessed at a 60°/s angular velocity. Unit of Measure: Nm (Newton-meters)
Baseline and Week 6
Total Work Done
The total amount of work performed by the muscle groups during the test protocol at an angular velocity of 180°/s. Unit of Measure: Nm
Baseline and Week 6
Fatigue Index
The percentage decline in peak torque calculated from the difference between the initial and final repetitions during a set of isokinetic contractions performed at an angular velocity of 180°/s. Unit of Measure: %
Baseline and Week 6
Hamstring-Quadriceps Ratio (H/Q Ratio)
The ratio of the peak torque of the hamstring muscles to the peak torque of the quadriceps muscles measured at an angular velocity of 60°/s. Unit of Measure: ratio
