Muscle electrostimulation of the abdominal muscles, used in sports such as swimming, rowing or climbing, is an asset in all disciplines. The abdominal muscles are located in the centre of the body and are therefore very important for our balance and for the transmission of force from the arms to the legs, or vice versa. It is also very much in demand for aesthetic purposes, but will often require an adapted diet to achieve the desired effect.
For athletes, it helps to strengthen the muscle, to avoid injuries linked to repeated movements or shocks linked to repeated jumps. But also to improve balance and the transmission of forces by sheathing the muscles. By stabilising your chest with our abdominal electric stimulators, you will gain in precision and strength when performing your movements.
For aesthetics, electric muscle stimulation of the abs is very common, but a balanced diet is also very important. You must also be careful not to focus on only one part of the abdominal muscles because if you neglect your obliques, the rectus abdominis will not be well maintained and therefore less visible.
Abdominal Accessories
To facilitate the use of the electric stimulators on the abs, we have developed a wide range of electrical stimulation accessories such as the belts and the combi-vest, both of which offer you optimal support, so you can continue your activities during your session, or exercise other parts of the body at the same time. A time saving and practical solution that makes those who have adopted it very happy. Sportelec abdominal electrostimulation belts are compatible with the entire compex range.
Abdominal stimulation belts with removable electrodes or vest, you can place the electrodes on the accessory yourself, the work will therefore be more adapted to your morphology and thanks to the attachment system, you will no longer have to replace them at each session, the corresponding models are the Maxibelt 1 and Maxibelt 2 as well as the Combi Vest.
Abdominal stimulation belts with non-removable electrodes or contact cream, are the ones where everything will be placed for you, so all you have to do is place the belt on yourself and set up your electric muscle stimulator to start your session. The models with electrodes are the Maxibelt 3 and the ergonomic abdominal belt. The multifunctional belt model will work with cream that needs to be applied to the patches.
Placement of electrodes on the abdominal muscles:
It is important to respect the placement of the electrodes, in order to stimulate the targeted muscle, the abdominal muscles being a set of imposing muscles, a simple placement will always have an effect, but if you are looking for precise results and in order to help you in the process, you will find below our diagrams corresponding to the placement of the electrodes on the abdominal strap
For a harmonious morphology, it is preferable to train the whole body, which is why our experts have detailed the placement of the electrodes on all parts of the body for you.
