SAV : Electrostimulation and sport

1. Is the use of electromusculation comparable to playing a sport?

The muscle is unable to distinguish between a voluntary contraction (controlled by the brain) and an electro-induced impulse (controlled by an external generator). The work produced is therefore the same.
However, only the muscles solicited by the device work, which is not the case for your heart and your respiratory system. Sport-Elec ® is a complement to sporting activity. Its purpose is not to replace it.

2. What is the use of a Sport-Elec ® device if I am an athlete?

The interest of the Sport-Elec ® devices lies in the multitude of its programmes which allow to work in a very specific way a muscle or a particular group of muscles in resistance, in explosive strength, in endurance, and in muscular maintenance in the periods of sporting inactivity. Thanks to its programs Sport-Elec ® allows you to optimize your sport sessions.

3. I am a triathlete, my physiotherapist advised me to use the Sport-Elec ® Multisport Pro device to optimize my usual training, why?

Preparation and recovery programme:
Before and after training, the muscles need to be relaxed so that they can then reach their maximum power. A Multisportpro session increases the vascularity of the muscle. This prevents the accumulation of lactic acid, which causes cramps and aches.

Muscle strengthening programme:
Electromusculation can be used as a complement to traditional training since it does not tire the body and allows intensive muscular activity by avoiding the shocks due to running for example.

4. I am not a sportsman, can I still use a Sport-Elec electrostimulation device?

YES, the Sport-Elec® beauty and Sport-Elec® sport ranges are aimed at people who are concerned about their physical shape and body aesthetics (by developing their muscles or by attacking fatty tissue).

5. If I'm not interested in sport anyway, I don't see the point of buying a machine?

Electrostimulation devices are also used to relax the muscles.
You don't have to be an athlete to enjoy the benefits of electrostimulation.

6. I do sport every day, what can I use an electromusculation device for?

Electrostimulation devices, such as the Multisportpro, allow you as a sportsman to develop your maximum strength thanks to the variable frequency programmes.

• Warm-up
• Strengthening of muscle volume
• Endurance
• Explosive strength

After an intense workout, you can recover more efficiently through muscle drainage with the help of the adapted programmes. In this way, the formation of lactic acid is significantly reduced.

7. Is using a device exactly the same as a sports session?

YES, on the muscles involved, which cannot distinguish between a voluntary contraction (dictated by the brain) and a contraction due to the device.

But the aim is not to replace sport!

Because only the muscles involved are working: you are not doing any cardio or respiratory muscle work.
