“…Recently, we demonstrated that combining subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with low-intensity exercise before the Wingate test could further enhance the blood lactate concentration ([La] b ) but did not compromise Wingate exercise performance compared to VO 2 -matched voluntary exercise alone (VOL) 8 . Applying NMES with voluntary exercise (VOLES) between sprint exercises may not reduce the sprint exercise performance but increase blood lactate accumulation compared to VOL.…”

“…They then performed the second Wingate test with 10-min free-weight cycling recovery without NMES (recovery). During the experimental procedure, metabolic responses using the breath-by-breath method (AE310S, Minato Medical Science Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) 8 14 , heart rate (HR; DS-8600; Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), and muscle oxygenation of the vastus lateralis muscle using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS; Hb14; Astem, Kanagawa, Japan) 8 15 16 were recorded continuously, and [La] b was measured using an automated analyzer (Lactate Pro 2; Arkray, Kyoto, Japan) at the end of baseline, intervention at 3 min, and recovery at 1, 3, 5, and 10 min 8 14 .…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with voluntary exercise between repeated Wingate tests on sprint exercise performance and blood lactate accumulation during sprint interval training. Fifteen healthy young males volunteered. After 1 min baseline, participants underwent the Wingate test twice. They performed 4 min intervention between tests: neuromuscular electrical stimulation with free-weight cycling or voluntary cycling alone [43.6 (8.0) watts], which matched oxygen consumption with neuromuscular electrical stimulation with free-weight cycling. The blood lactate concentration was assessed at the end of the baseline, at 3 min intervention, and on recovery at 1, 3, 5, and 10 min after the 2nd Wingate test. Peak and mean blood lactate concentration during recovery were significantly greater with neuromuscular electrical stimulation with free-weight cycling than voluntary cycling alone (P>0.036 and P=0.011, respectively). Peak power, mean power, and rate of decline (fatigue index) were not significantly different between conditions in both Wingate tests (condition/interaction all P>0.300, partial η2<0.1). Subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with voluntary exercise indicated similar exercise performance and fatigue levels during Wingate tests, but enhanced blood lactate accumulation compared with oxygen consumption-matched voluntary cycling during sprint interval training.

The study aimed to determine the acute effects of subtetanic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with active recovery between sprint exercises on blood lactate accumulation, sprint performance, and muscle fatigue. Sixteen healthy young individuals [23(4) years, 10 males] underwent a 1-min rest followed by sprint interval training consisting of four 15-sec maximal sprint exercises with three 5-min active cycling sessions. Participants engaged in voluntary cycling at 40% of peak oxygen consumption, with or without NMES (VOLES or VOL; interventions). Blood lactate concentration ([La]b) was assessed at the end of the rest and each intervention periods. Mean power was assessed during each sprint exercise session. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the knee extensor was measured before and after sprint interval training to evaluate muscle fatigue. The [La]b was significantly higher in VOLES than in VOL (main effect, P=0.037). Mean power did not differ between conditions (main effect and interaction, P>0.050). MVC after sprint interval exercise was significantly lower in VOLES than in VOL (interaction, P<0.001). Subtetanic NMES combined with voluntary cycling enhanced blood lactate accumulation and induced greater voluntary fatigue but resulted in similar peripheral muscle fatigue and sprint exercise performance compared with voluntary cycling without NMES.
