What is EMS?
EMS-Training is a whole body workout that promotes weight loss, increases physical strength, stimulates muscle growth and relieves tensions and muscular imbalances.
Studies have shown that it is almost 20 times more intense than conventional strength training methods such as high intensity weight training. Using a high-tech training suit with strategically placed electrodes to target each of your major muscle groups, EMS is an innovative way to exercise your entire body working all of your muscles at once, speeding up your workout and offering real results. With just one 20-minute session per week, EMS can be seamlessly integrated into any health, fitness or wellness routine.
Whole Body EMS is combined with simple exercises for muscle mass, muscle function and muscle strength. The contraction is triggered via external electrodes reaching 90% of the muscle fibers. Building up the muscles in a targeted manner for strength gain.
EMS is effective for the following reasons:
- Simultaneous activation of agonist and antagonists
- Addresses all large muscle groups with specific stimulus levels
- Reaches passive deep muscle structures
- Stimulates the release of factors such as IGF-1
- Directly recruits type-2 muscle fibers
Medical studies have shown users to gain lean muscle mass, improve physique and even increase bone density.
Gentle impact on the joints coupled with the significant assistance from the impulses makes EMS an optimal choice for individuals who find themselves less active due to advanced age or facing health barriers. Full body EMS is also known to strengthen the pelvic floor and reduce postpartum incontinence in women. True whole body training takes place through the simultaneous tensioning of all the major muscle groups and the stabilizing muscles which are hard to reach with classic methods.
The practical training structure takes into account functional exercises from sport and everyday life and supports intra and inter-muscular coordination and facilitates perception training for learning movement. With this, one sided muscular strain and imbalances are avoided.
EMS Personal Training
EMS Personal Training is the perfect exercise for older people, especially those over 60. Training with electrical muscle stimulation keeps your blood pressure low and your heart rate steady.
Studies have shown that there is no age limit to staying active with EMS. Both the intensity of the electric impulses and the exercises themselves are highly adaptable to fit all age groups and fitness levels. In conventional strength training, it is difficult for most older adults to go above the required threshold to provoke an adequate muscular response.
EMS allows exercise with the necessary intensity to stimulate skeletal muscle and to build and maintain muscle strength and mass. There is also an increase in interest in the fitness industry and sport for health sector. Allowing athletes to focus on specific muscle groups that require extra attention, EMS can be particularly beneficial for addressing weaknesses or imbalances that could hinder performance Sport specific movements. Originating over 60 years ago for injury recovery, EMS now merges tradition with innovation to minimize injury risk and maximize muscle gains.
