EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. This type of training is a good way to improve your fitness, tone your body and strengthen your muscles in much less time than regular exercise. The main advantage of EMS training is that it significantly saves time, for this type of training you need 20 - 25 minutes of exercise to achieve the same effect that you would have during active training lasting 90 minutes or more. This training technique enables the activation of all muscles at the same time, and since they are under the influence of electrical impulses, regardless of the strength of the contraction, the joints remain relieved. In addition to simultaneous action on all muscles, EMS training offers the possibility of targeted action on specific muscles. In addition, with this technique it is possible to reach deeper layers that are more difficult to activate with normal movements.
This is exactly the reason why EMS training is very popular among all exercisers, whether they are recreational, recuperative or professional athletes.

Electromuscular stimulation is a completely safe procedure. The explanation is extremely simple. Our muscles are constantly working. During this process, each movement is initiated by a small internal electrical pulse. During training with electromuscular stimulation, this pulse is simply amplified with an additional pulse coming from the outside. This is precisely the reason why the body knows the pulse. This pulse that comes from outside is not dangerous for the nervous system and the heart. The machines used in training use very low electrical voltage and meet all EU directives that apply to medical devices. EMS training is no more strenuous than standard training. Depending on the intensity of the training, you will need a rest and a glass of water at the end of the workout.
