Once you have sorted out your training regime, technique and nutrition it can be difficult to push your performance further. However the latest electro-muscle stimulators can boost performance by 10-30% even in professional athletes.
EMS units send electrical pulses through your muscles which stimulate them to contract and relax in the same way your brain sends nerve impulses. However you can programme an EMS to make your muscles work(out) in different ways something you cannot do with a brain. In tests, using an EMS as part of your training programme has increased performance (measured in a variety of ways) by 10-30% across a range of different sports.
William Fryer, Technical Director of jdharris.co.uk, says, basically EMS units work, there is a massive body of scientific evidence to support that. Any athlete competing at a fairly serious level needs to be using one just to be in the running. Virtually the whole of the Brazilian football team use them. And the best on the market sells for less than £350.
So what are the benefits?
1. You increase your performance – generally speaking by 10-30%
2. You increase your ability to workout – because with an EMS you can work out while you watch TV, on a plane/train or even in bed.
3. Your muscles recover faster. Active Recovery programmes make your muscles recover faster after exercise.
In the UK, the public perception of EMS devices has been hurt by cheap mass market EMS devices which promised a lot and delivered little. In reality there are two major companies with the technology to manufacture effective EMS devices, one of those is the Italian company globus italia srl. Their leading EMS product is the Premium 200 which is quite simply the best combination of features and quality for the least money on the market.
The globus premium 200:
– is 2/3rds the price of its nearest competitor.
– has programmes designed for specific sports, eg, cycling, running, martial arts, football.
– has an intuitive graphical display/guide so you do not need to refer to a user guide.
– allows you to run two different programmes across the four channels (2+2 mode).
The Globus Premium 200 EMS is designed for athletes competing at a high level (and those wanting to). It has every programme any athlete could ever need.
It is a full function four channel EMS and the unique intuitive display makes it easy to use. Basically you just follow the pictures on screen which tell you where to put the pads. (Handy when you are trying to negotiate its 486 programmes.)
The unit is powered by a rechargeable battery and is made in Europe.
Whether you are a very serious athlete competing at national or international level or you are just a regular athlete who wants a top notch EMS you will not be disappointed with the Globus Premium 200.
The Premium 200 is used in Sports Training, General Fitness, Beauty, Rehabilitation and Pain Management.
