Optimizing Electrical Stimulation for Promoting Satellite Cell Proliferation in Muscle Disuse Atrophy

ABSTRACTObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the optimal electrical stimulation (ES) protocol in attenuating disuse muscle atrophy by influencing satellite cell activity.DesignThis study used a pretest-posttest design. Six ES protocols of different duration (3 hrs day−1 or 2 × 3 hrs day
