Values are presented as estimated mean ± SE. ∆ EX + WB-EMS: change score of exercise plus whole-body electrostimulation group; ∆ EX: change score of exercise only group; MD: mean difference; CI: confidence interval; d: Cohen’s d effect size; * pBonferroni ≤ 0.05; ***: pBonferroni < 0.001; $ moderate effect size; # Large effect size; ^ Very large effect size.
