EMS training - the most important information

What is EMS training and what are its principles?

EMS training is a special type of physical activity which is inextricably linked with the use of a muscle electrostimulation device. Before training, the athlete is subjected to an analysis of his/her body composition and current psychophysical condition, which enables the personal trainer to create an optimal exercise plan - this way he/she knows which muscle parts should be given priority.

The exerciser then wears a special waistcoat, a waist belt as well as arm and thigh bands. These are all equipped with diodes that are connected to a main apparatus that generates electrical impulses. The purpose of these impulses is to stimulate the brain to engage the muscles during exercise - in this way, EMS training causes strong stimulation of the body, which allows the activation of deeper postural muscles, among other things.

Benefits and effects of regular EMS training

The training goal is strictly dependent on the individual needs of the exerciser and the personal trainer's idea of working together. Some people will be determined to introduce any form of physical activity into their everyday life, while others will want to increase their deep muscle activity. In each case, however, you should expect such effects as:

• improvement of physical fitness
• increase in muscle endurance
• improvement of skin appearance and reduction of cellulite
• reduction of pain in the locomotor system

EMS training is credited with many advantages that are not found in traditional physical activity. First of all, time. A single session of electrostimulation lasts only 20 minutes and can be performed only once a week! During each session, up to 1,200 calories can be burned, which is due to the incredibly intense stimulation of the working muscles.

Equally important is the fact that EMS training is much simpler than typical strength and endurance training. Instructors usually choose basic exercises that require no additional equipment. What's more, each electrostimulation session takes place under the watchful eye of a personal trainer to correct any mistakes. Therefore, the risk of injury is really low.

EMS training - for whom is it recommended?

The use of EMS training is recommended for recreational exercisers, professional athletes and people who are not physically active. In just 20 minutes there is a chance to give your muscles a solid workout and protect your body from the negative effects of inactivity. Regardless of your level of experience, age or type of sport - you will find it really worth it!
