What You Should Note When
Training With EMS
• The most important thing fi rst: Train-
ing with electrical muscle stimulation
(EMS) is the perfect accompaniment
to your regular sports regime. Howev-
er, it is not a substitute for traditional
training!
• The EMS only boosts your strength
and is not a substitute for endurance
training. To ensure that you train your
whole body in a sensible way, you
14
should also focus on strengthening
your stamina.
• You should build up strength not
only using EMS. Targeted traditional
strength training combined with EMS
will boost the effect.
• Particularly if you want to improve
your performance in a particular sport
through EMS, you should replicate
movements that are typical of this
sport during the training. This will
help you to train your coordination.
• It is particularly important to drink a lot
during EMS training. This is because
fi rstly large amounts of water can col-
lect in the muscles during the training.
So to ensure you do not experience
any circulation problems, you should
always remember to drink enough.
And secondly EMS training increases
the secretion of the enzyme creatine
kinase (CK), which is eliminated via the
kidneys. Having suffi cient fl uid in the
body aids the kidneys.
• Include suffi cient recovery phases
between your training sessions. We
recommend, particularly for begin-
ners, that you train no more than once
or twice a week.
• EMS training is not designed for you
to endure pain in order to produce
supposed better results. This can
damage your health more than it
benefi ts it. You should therefore never
train too much and not at an intensity
level that is too high.
