We compared the effects of endurance training in combination with either, a microcurrent or a sham treatment, on endurance performance. Additionally, changes in body composition, post\u2010exercise lactate kinetics and perceived delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS) were determined. Eighteen males (32.8 \u00b1 6.3 years) completed an 8\u2010week endurance training programme involving 5 to 6 workouts per week wearing a microcurrent (MIC, n=9) or a sham (SH, n=9) device for 3\u2010h post\u2010workout or in the morning during non\u2010training days. Measurements were conducted at pre\u2010 and post\u2010intervention. Compared to baseline, both groups increased (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01) maximal aerobic speed (MIC, pre = 17.6 \u00b1 1.3 to post=18.3 \u00b1 1.0; SH, pre=17.8 \u00b1 1.5 to post = 18.3 \u00b1 1.3\u2005km<jats:sup>.<\/jats:sup>h<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) with no changes in <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/ejscbf01745-gra-9001.png\" xlink:title=\"image\"\/> O<jats:sub>2peak<\/jats:sub>. No interaction effect per group and time was observed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.193). Although both groups increased (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05) trunk lean mass (MIC, pre=23.2 \u00b1 2.7 to post=24.2 \u00b1 2.0; SH, pre=23.4 \u00b1 1.7 to post=24.3 \u00b1 1.6\u2005kg) only MIC decreased (pre=4.8 \u00b1 1.5 to post=4.5 \u00b1 1.5, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>=0.029) lower body fat. At post\u2010intervention, no main differences between groups were observed for lactate kinetics over the 5\u2005min recovery period. Only MIC decreased (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.05) DOMS at 24\u2010h and 48\u2010h, showing a significant average lower DOMS score over 72\u2010h after the completion of the exercise\u2010induced muscle soreness protocol. In conclusion, a 3\u2010h daily application of microcurrent over an 8\u2010week endurance training programme produced no further benefits on performance in endurance\u2010trained males. Nonetheless, the post\u2010workout microcurrent application promoted more desirable changes in body composition and attenuated the perception of DOMS over 72\u2010h post\u2010exercise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/17461391.2020.1862305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T12:14:40Z","timestamp":1607602480000},"page":"1708-1717","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/tandf_crossmark_01","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects of adding post\u2010workout microcurrent in males cross country athletes"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","clinical-trial-number":[{"clinical-trial-number":"nct03477747","registry":"10.18810\/clinical-trials-gov"}],"author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7405-4894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Naclerio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Lifecourse Development, Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation University of Greenwich London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Moreno\u2010Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education, Research and Evaluation Methods Comillas Pontifical University Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcos","family":"Seijo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Lifecourse Development, Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation University of Greenwich London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bettina","family":"Karsten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European University of Applied Science (EUFH) Rostock Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar","family":"Larrosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAS microbiota group, Faculty of Biomedical and Health Sciences Universidad Europea de Madrid Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose \u00c1nge L.","family":"Garc\u00eda\u2010Merino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAS microbiota group, Faculty of Biomedical and Health Sciences Universidad Europea de Madrid Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jack","family":"Thirkell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eneko","family":"Larumbe\u2010Zabala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MAS microbiota group, Faculty of Biomedical and Health Sciences Universidad Europea de Madrid Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biocel.2009.12.009"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"334","article-title":"Effect of microcurrent stimulation on delayed\u2010onset muscle soreness: A Double\u2010Blind comparison","volume":"34","author":"Allen J.
