Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a widespread and universally
acknowledged method that has been used for years in the field of sports
and rehabilitative medicine. In sports and fitness training, EMS is commonly
used complementary to conventional muscle training in order to improve
performance of muscle groups and to shape body proportions according to
esthetic preferences. EMS applications can be divided into two categories.
On the one hand, it can systematically strengthen muscles (activating
applications), and on the other hand, it can be used for achieving a relaxing,
recuperating effect (relaxing applications).
Activating applications:
Muscle training for increasing endurance capacity, and/or muscle
training for supporting the strengthening of certain muscles or muscle
groups in order to achieve desirable changes in body shape.
Relaxing applications:
Muscle relaxation for relieving muscular tension.
Rectification of muscular fatigue.
Enhanced muscle recovery after high muscular demands (e.g., after
running a marathon).
