Strength training exercises with characteristics about repetitions, sets, rest between the sets, contraction mode (ecc = eccentric, iso = isometric, con = concentric) per repetition, range of motion per repetition and time under tension (TUT) per exercise for both groups as well as on/off ratio of WB-EMS impulse (70% of the individual pain threshold) for the strength training group with superimposed WB-EMS (S+E) and additional load (individual 8–10 repetition maximum) for the strength training group (S).
