Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) on the cardiorespiratory function differences between obesity adult and control.
Methods: 10 obesity adults and 10 controls were participated. The electrodes for NMES were placed on bilateral abdomen, gluteus maximus and quadriceps muscles, and The electrical stimulation intensity was applied as follows.; sensory no contraction, motor threshold, and maximal intensity that can withstand. Data obtained after evaluating cardiorespiratory function during rest, NMES, and recovery were statistically analyzed.
Results: There were significant differences on heart rate, systolic blood pressure, heart rate reserve, VO2, VCO2, ventilation exchange in all group(p<0.05). There were significant differences on diastolic blood pressure, VCO2 in rall NMES periods between group(p<0.05).
Conclusion: NMES increased cardiorespiratory function as its intensity increased, and it was found that obese adults further increased cardiorespiratory function than the control group. In the future, various attempts to manage obesity by increasing the metabolic rate using electrical stimulation in the field of physical therapy are needed.
