Strength

The strength programs enhance the strength of your muscles and increase muscle mass. They let you train specific muscles with the maximum load without subjecting the joints to unnecessary strain. One of the advantages of electrical muscle stimulation is a much lower risk of injury than with traditional training, because the joints are spared. A muscle consists of fast and slow muscle fibers. EMS primarily stimulates the fast muscle fibers, which are hard to target with regular training. The fast fibers are particularly important when you need maximum force, fast. The resistance force programs increase your capacity for high force development over time. They improve your ability to resist building up waste products, so the muscle doesn’t get tired as fast. Many, long, powerful muscle contractions, with brief recovery periods in between, give high-intensity training. These programs are recommended for sports that require intense muscle work over a long time, such as bicycling and downhill skiing. The explosive force programs improve your capacity for rapid force development. The aim is to use the largest number of muscle fibers in the shortest possible time. You will find these programs a pleasant complement to traditional explosive force training, which is often very demanding. The explosive force programs are used for sports that require fast maximum force, such as sprinting, ball sports and downhill skiing. Recommended training: 1-3 times per week and muscle.
