EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) Per Session

WEIGHT LOSS AND FAT REDUCTION

EMS promotes a high level of metabolic activity during, and for many hours after, a training session. The higher your metabolism, the better your body will burn fat and build lean muscle mass.

EFFECTS OF MUSCLE STIMULATION ON STRENGTH CAPACITY

EMS can produce a stronger contraction of the muscle than voluntary force development. Type 2 fast-twitch muscle fibres and core muscles have also been shown to be enhanced.

MUSCLE BUILDING (HYPERTROPHY)

Maximum strength gains through EMS are essentially due to an increase in muscle mass. Increases in the circumference of the chest, arms and legs are often noticeable after just a few training sessions.

BETTER POSTURE, STRONGER BACK

Imbalances in the postural muscles of the back, abdomen, and pelvic floor are common ailments. With EMS, these difficult muscle groups can be targeted and effectively trained. Especially in the case of the imbalance and widespread issue of back pain, Shape20’s EMS training can make a noticeable contribution to alleviating discomfort. At the same time, bad posture is corrected, which ultimately leads to an improvement in posture and mobility.

MUSCLE BUILDING AFTER OPERATIONS

Several studies have shown that EMS can effectively accelerate muscle regeneration after surgery. The use of EMS in the acute phase shortly after surgery has proven to be particularly promising.

COMPENSATION OF MUSCULAR IMBALANCES

EMS allows the targeted control of muscle groups. This is particularly important when muscular imbalances need to be compensated. Sitting at a desk for long periods of time, for example, leads to a shortening of the chest muscles with a simultaneous weakening of the shoulder and back muscles.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT IN SPORTS

Strength is a performance-limiting factor in many sports. EMS is ideal for building sport-specific strength, improving the quality of muscle contractions, and balancing imbalances. In addition, EMS is a time-saving alternative, or complement to, conventional strength training, especially in competitive sports with its many technique and tactic specific training units.

PROTECTION OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

EMS training is "additional load free". Training intensity with EMS doesn’t result from heavy weights, but from electrostimulation. Making it much gentler on the joints and musculoskeletal system. In EMS training, the training intensity is generated by electrostimulation. Thus a joint-gentle training is possible without extra loads created by weights/dumbbells.
