All the subjects performed their tests according to the protocol. No injuries or undesired side effects occurred during the tests.
Energy expenditure was 17% higher during the exercise protocol with WB-EMS application (412 ± 60 kcal·h−1) compared with the noncurrent exercise protocol (352 ± 70 kcal·h−1). The differences between both protocols were statistically significant (p = 0.008, ES, d = 0.92).
The RPE was significantly higher (p = 0.001, ES, d = 1.69) during WB-EMS application (Borg scale: 14.7 ± 1.5; ≈“hard”), than during noncurrent conditions (Borg scale: 11.9 ± 1.8; ≈“light to moderate”).
