FES-Cycling Trial

Currently there is a trial of FES-cycling which aims to measure health benefits of FES cycle training for one year. The subjects are asked to follow a training schedule that increases quickly to one hour per day of cycling, five days per week. Unfortunately, no more subjects can now be taken.

In Britain, this work is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It is collaboration between University College London, Kings College London
