Fundamentals
During conventional exercise, muscle are controlled by electrical signals from the brain, resulting in contraction and thus movement.
During EMS-Training, electrical impulses stimulate the muscles externally. A muscle does not differentiate between internal electrical impulses sent from the brain and external impulses from electrodes. In either case, the muscle react by contracting.
To summarize, EMS can be described as highly effective whole body training program that in training time of less than 25 minutes per week can achieve a variety of muscular training goals. The combination of deliberate muscle tension, sport or every specific movements and at the same time activating all the major muscle groups creates a completely different stimulus and training becomes shorter and more intensive.
