FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES EMS WORK?
1. Electrode Placement: Electrodes are strategically placed on the skin over specific muscle groups. The number and positioning of these electrodes are based on the targeted areas and the desired results of the massage.
2. Production of Electrical Impulses: The EMS device generates controlled electrical impulses that are delivered through the electrodes to the underlying muscles. These impulses mimic the electrical signals that the central nervous system uses to initiate muscle contractions.
3. Stimulation of Muscle Function: The electrical impulses stimulate the muscle fibers, resulting in contractions and relaxations that mirror the natural muscle activity that occurs during physical exercise. This process aims to activate muscles that may not be engaged through voluntary movements.
4. Adjustment of Frequency and Strength: The frequency and strength of the electrical impulses can be adjusted to align with the goals of the massage and the comfort levels of the individual. Higher frequencies and strengths may be utilized for muscle strengthening, while lower settings are better suited for relaxation and recovery.
WHO CANT USE EMS?
Certain medical conditions may restrict the use of EMS-assisted training. These include having a defibrillator, pacemaker, or experiencing epilepsy or other neurological disorders. If you have any doubts, it is advisable to consult your physician for approval prior to engaging in EMS training.
EMS TRAINING VS TRADITIONAL TRAINING
The EMS makes muscles work harder for longer, and more effectively, than traditional strength training. This is because using EMS enables the simultaneous tensioning of all the major muscle groups, including the stabilising “core” muscles, which are hard to reach with traditional training methods.
Because of its impressive effectiveness, EMS training is gaining popularity all over the world.
