About this trial
In this project, we aim to determine any potential effects of a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area on functional capacity and muscle activation. Healthy individuals will participate in one familiarization followed by up to 6 experimental sessions. Fatigability and motor function will be assessed in each test session.
