Muscle stimulation to build muscle more intensively

Muscle stimulation is an effective way to intensify your training and strengthen your muscles in a targeted manner.

What do we mean by muscle stimulation?

Electrical muscle stimulation or electromyostimulation (EMS) is a widespread and generally accepted method that uses electrical pulses to stimulate the muscles. These pulses cause the muscles to actively contract or tense up, similar to how they contract during a conventional training session. However, the main advantage of muscle stimulation is that the electrical stimulation activates many more muscle strands, making the training particularly intense and efficient.

What is the principle of electrical muscle stimulation?

The principle of electrical muscle stimulation is based on imitating your muscle’s natural contractions and replicating the body’s pulses. Our brains send out electrical pulses every time we move. They are routed via nerve pathways to the respective muscles to make them contract.

During the training, electrodes are applied to the skin to replicate and amplify the body’s natural neuronal signals. The electrodes are connected to a special muscle stimulation device that generates the electrical pulses. The electrical pulses are sent to the tissue, which transfers the stimulation effect to the nerves, nerve centres and muscle groups in the area being treated. This boosts the muscle contractions.

As a result, an EMS training session not only lets you train the superficial muscles, you can also reach the deeper layers of muscle. Your training is intensified, muscle building is promoted and your calorie consumption increases. The electrodes can be applied to different parts of the body depending on which areas you want to train.

The electrical stimuli are safe and painless when used properly. You will usually feel a slight tingling or vibration. In order to adapt the training session in line with your physical needs, the Beurer muscle stimulation devices allow you to individually adjust the intensity and frequency of the pulses.
