Comment choisir son electrostimulateur ?

If you are looking for an electrostimulator you probably know what you want to do with it, but how do you decide which of the many brands will best suit your needs?

First of all, your profile is important because it determines the use and the objective, so if you are a sportsman your needs will be for active recovery or anti-pain or muscle soreness with periods for muscle development and strengthening or massage, you must choose an electrostimulator that is as complete as possible but still with a reasonable price-quality ratio.

The paradox of manufacturers is that they overestimate the value of products according to the possibilities of the devices, which is rarely logical but more profitable for them. For example, at Compex, to have a 4-channel product you will have to pay a minimum of 450 euros and count 1200 euros for a wireless product with a maximum power of around 100 milliamperes and 30 programmes.

At Blutens you will be wireless but connected to your telephone which in electrostimulation automatically limits the power to around 20 milliamps which slows down the capacity of muscle development unless you do hours and hours of electrostimulation, all for 249 euros for two motors. Power in electrotherapy for muscle development is very important as it defines the time you will take to achieve your goals. The number of programmes is important provided that they correspond to precise sports training functions, for example, it makes no sense to do a programme by hertz.

The programmes must be made up of various frequencies with a physical objective on the muscle. For example, if you are doing muscle development, choose a programme that mixes muscle training frequencies with massage frequencies for rest periods.

This is exactly the philosophy of Sport-Elec. So refer to the charts that describe the Sport-Elec programmes and you will see that they are designed like cooking recipes or music scores with precise objectives. For the prices there are no photos a product of Sport-Elec intended for the sportsmen is worth around 140 euros with 4 channels, 100 milliamperes of power and more than 100 programs including the respect of the muscular chronaxy: i.e. each program can be defined by muscular zone, knowing that the usable frequencies also depend on the size of the muscle which requires an adaptation by zone of each program.
