EMS Parameters
Our certified stimulation current devices allow you to choose
between various programs and settings. Synchronous (S) and
asynchronous (A): With synchronous programs, the stimulation is
carried out simultaneously on all available channels, while with
asynchronous programs this happens with a time delay. This, for
example, allows a particularly thorough or a particularly gentle
stimulation to be achieved.
Low frequencies (no higher than about 18 Hz) will mainly activate
the slower reacting red muscle fibers. Power and endurance
athletes will thus benefit from electrical muscle stimulation in
this frequency range to build up muscle. When applied, it will
cause a distinct contraction of the muscle.
Intensity
Current strengths for EMS are in the milliampere range (mA). The
intensity chosen depends on the user. New users and the
untrained should, however, always start with lower current
strengths. Following more frequent application it is up to the user
to adjust the current strength slowly upwards.
Duration of Contraction
The contraction time (ON) is chosen according to the users
training goal. Anaerobic endurance training is achieved through
numerous; relatively short (5-6 seconds) stimulations.
