TUA EXCEL works on the principle of electrostimulation, meaning electric impulses applied by means of electrodes to the skin, directly on the muscles, which contract rhythmically and perform real and true physical exercise.
Muscular exercise induced by electrostimulation is particularly effective because it can be intense and selectively targeted on single muscle groups (something hard to achieve through active physical exercise).
Training by electrostimulation provides a number of advantages that integrate and partially replace voluntary training. Among these can be included:
- Selective stimulation of the muscle group or part of this. (By positioning the electrodes correctly on the different muscles, a specific stimulation can be achieved of the selected muscle. reducing activity of the adjacent muscles to a minimum.)
- Maximum recruitment of muscle fibres. By setting suitable current intensities, the maximum recruitment of muscle fibres can be obtained, something hard to achieve through voluntary contraction.
- Absence of load on joints. Especially on the spine, where problems in this area often represent a limitation to physical activity in both sedentary and sportspersons.
- Absence of general body tiredness.
- Rapid progress. |

In human beings, skeletal muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system by means of electro-chemical impulses.
