Description

EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) has become increasingly popular in recent years as an effective and time-saving strength training method. Originally, stimulation current was used exclusively in medicine and competitive sports. There are now hundreds of EMS companies throughout Germany and a large number of providers who also offer the EMS method for mass sports. There is currently no sign of an end to the expansion of this effective training method.

This book is the first to comprehensively describe EMS as a strength training method. The topics covered include training theory, the advantages of EMS, the importance of CK (creatine kinase) levels, the effects of EMS training, the basics of the current, an introduction to EMS training practice, illnesses and possible therapeutic perspectives, nutrition, safety first, a look at criticism of EMS and much more.

Again and again, valuable practical experience is incorporated using examples. For all EMS providers, trainers and trainees in the EMS sector, this book serves as a perfect reference work and provides a solid basis for optimal EMS training. However, this reference book is also ideal for customers or interested parties who want to find out more about EMS.
