Study Summary

This trial will test if a weak electrical current to the neck or chest can improve functional capacity or muscle activation. Healthy participants will do one practice session, then three test sessions. Each session will measure fatigue and motor function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy individuals aged 18 to 50 who want to help explore how weak electrical stimulation might affect muscle function and energy levels. People with neuromuscular diseases, skin hypersensitivity, or metal implants/joint replacements cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the impact of applying a weak electrical current to the neck or thoracic area on muscle activation and stamina in healthy adults. Participants will undergo one familiarization session followed by three experimental sessions assessing motor function.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the stimulation site, mild skin irritation, or temporary muscle twitching during application of the electrical current.
