| Research Abstract |
The present experiment was designed to clarify if the muscular contraction induced by the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was effective to produce Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with comparing to voluntary muscular contraction. Healthy normal subjects participated in this study. After preliminarily executed trial experiments, the blood lactate, RER, VE, and serum BDNF concentration during and after exercise were measured and analyzed. Still more subjects were needed to conclude the effect of NMES on BDNF production, upward tendency of serum BDNF concentration during exercise was shown with compared to another condition (voluntary exercise, and sham stimulation).
