Dynamics of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max).
Timeframe: The level of VO2max is estimated at the beginning of the study (initially) and at the end of the study (after 8 weeks) in the active and fictitious stimulation groups.
The dynamics of the treadmill speed at the level of the anaerobic threshold of metabolism.
Timeframe: Treadmill speed is estimated at the beginning of the study (initially) and at the end of the study (after 8 weeks) in the active and dummy stimulation groups.
