Popis: Abstract The combined application of voluntary exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been developed as a new type of exercise that can recruit motor units contributing to both aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolisms. We aimed to investigate the effect of voluntary exercise intensity on metabolic responses on the combination of voluntary exercise and NMES. In 13 volunteers, oxygen consumption and the blood lactate concentration were measured during (1) voluntary pedaling exercise at four different intensities: 50%, 75%, 100%, and 125% of the ventilatory threshold (VT) (VOL), (2) these voluntary exercises with superimposed NMES applied to the gluteus and thigh muscles (VOL+NMES), and (3) NMES only (NMES). Oxygen consumption and the blood lactate concentration in VOL+NMES were significantly greater than VOL at each exercise intensity (p
