Electrostimulation was first known for its muscle building functions, to make your muscles move and, provided that your device such as a Sportelec is sufficiently powerful, to strengthen your body, reshape your figure and burn off excess fat.
More recently the skills of electrostimulation have been extended and are recognised for sports training. Active recovery, preparation for exercise, rehabilitation after an accident are also recognised qualities of electrostimulation and of Sportelec. The treatment and relief of muscular pain is widely used by Sportelec and electrostimulation equipment, including by pain centres, which is an indisputable recognition of its effectiveness. But recently, tests to develop an electro-stimulation waistcoat or EMS have shown a new effectiveness which raises questions about the reasons for this phenomenon.
Indeed, the aim of electrostimulation has been limited until now to the functions we have just listed and nothing could lead us to believe that other effects could exist. The Sportelec team was very surprised to find that by using a waistcoat which diffuses the currents of the Sportelec Multisport Pro, several testers felt an energising effect, especially the day after their session. A feeling of freedom of movement and fitness was felt. Additional energy seemed to be available to the athletes. What could be the reason for this? Indeed, the Sportelec electrostimulation waistcoat allows the pectoral and abdominal muscles to be worked at the same time as the back muscles. This is undoubtedly where the explanation for the fitness phenomenon of electrostimulation lies. It must be said that people who practice EMS in specialised centres such as the Sportelec centre in Cogolin have also spoken about this phenomenon of getting back into shape thanks to electro-stimulation.
After their sessions they feel a sense of relaxation, even for people who are overworked by their work or professional activities and who lack sleep have recognised this.
