In human beings, muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system by means of electro-chemical impulses conveyed through the nervous system. Thanks to a sophisticated and absolutely safe electronic circuitry, YOU, generates specific electrical currents that cause muscle contraction by substituting the impulses generated by the central nervous system.
Training by electrostimulation provides a number of advantages which, are such as to 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. |
