Functional electrical stimulation during cycling (FES Cycling) exercise is seen to improve cardiorespiratoric performance for maintaining health in patients with spinal cord injury. The relationship between widely varying stimulation pattern, functional movement and effects on cardiorespiratory response is not yet sufficiently studied. While different muscle activation patterns during the FES Cycling may increase metabolic consumption, the influence of different cycling cadences is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of functional electrical stimulation and different cadences on cardiorespiratoric responses in passive cycling movement in healthy volunteers. Methodology: 26 healthy subjects assigned in two groups, performed stepwise increased tests with and without functional electrical stimulation with cycling cadence increased from 20-60 rpm, 10 rpm every five minutes and two 25 minutes lasting, persistent tests with functional electrical simulation at cadences of 20 and 60 rpm. Passive cycling exercise was performed adding functional electrical stimulation on musculus quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius. Subjects were obliged to perform no voluntary movement. Heart rate, oxygen uptake and respiratory exchange ratio was recorded. Results: No significant changes between heart rate and oxygen uptake at different cadences during stepwise increased tests were found (p>0.05). Respiratory exchange ratio was different between beginning and end of the test (p<0.05). There was no Influence of electrical stimulation in any of measured parameters (p>0.05). Mean oxygen uptake within persistent 60 rpm test increased significantly, compared to 20 rpm. No differences of heart rate and respiratory exchange ratio were detected (p>0.05). Discussion: Acute cardiorespiratoric responses during passive cycling caused by functional electrical stimulation are only tendential, but not significant. By increasing the current and the cadence of FES Cycling metabolic consumption could be increased. A significant increase in cardiorespiratoric consumption is apparently only possible by combining exercises using FES Cycling and active arm exercise.
