6.2 EMS muscle training program

1) Athletic Training
Neglected for many years, muscle preparation has today
become indispensable for the competitive athlete. In this
respect, muscular electro stimulation is a complementary
training technique widely used by an increasing number of
athletes aiming to improve their level of performance.
Increasing the maximum strength of a muscle, developing
muscular volume, increasing the explosive strength of
muscles or improving the capacity of muscle fibres to sustain
effort over long periods of time are objectives that differ
according to the sporting discipline being practiced. Ensuring
optimal muscle preparation immediately before competition,
combining electro stimulation with voluntary muscle training,
optimizing the effects of training techniques such as
stretching, reproducing the muscular stress resulting from
"polymeric" training or imposing a "restoration" activity on
muscles is easily accessible today thanks to the high
specificity of the new programs offered by your device. Use of
programs of the Sport category is not suitable for atrophied
muscles that have suffered any kind of pathological process.
2) Fitness programs
Today there are more fitness enthusiasts than ever before,
and their number is rising. Apart from some rare individuals
who have real competitive targets, the vast majority have only
one aim: to restore their body to peak physical condition or
maintain it at that level.
Cardio training therefore alternates with more specific
exercises to develop or maintain a good quality musculature.
With this in mind, the sought-after aims may differ according
to who is doing the training: increasing muscle volume
toachieve an imposing stature (body-building) or better
muscle endurance to improve physical comfort during
sustained efforts. Combined with a voluntary physical activity
(aerobic exercises in the fitness facility, footing, cycling,
swimming, etc.), which becomes more pleasant and therefore
more effective, the programs of the Fitness category enable
users to obtain a toned and harmonious figure.
