About this study
This trial is testing whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise can improve spinal motoneuronal activation and physical function in older adults. Participants will undergo tests before and after the exercise intervention, which involves two sessions per week for four weeks.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
