@bobbitheep: ⚡ What is EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)? EMS uses low-level electrical impulses to contract your muscles — mimicking the signals your brain naturally sends to move. It helps activate muscle fibers that are often harder to recruit with voluntary effort alone. 💡 Why use it? ✅ Enhances muscle strength and endurance (supported by research in sports and rehabilitation). ✅ Improves muscle activation in weakened or post-injury muscles. ✅ Aids in maintaining muscle mass during immobilisation or recovery. ✅ May enhance circulation and reduce muscle stiffness. 🎚️ Frequency matters: Different frequencies target different muscle responses: • 1–10 Hz → recovery, relaxation, and circulation (low frequency). • 20–50 Hz → muscle strengthening and hypertrophy (medium frequency). • 50–100 Hz+ → maximum contraction and performance training (high frequency). 🚫 Who shouldn’t use EMS: ❌ People with pacemakers or implanted electronic devices. ❌ During pregnancy (especially on the abdomen). ❌ Over areas of broken skin, infection, or active malignancy. ❌ Without guidance from a qualified Exercise Physiologist or health professional. #ems #electricalmusclestimulation #exercisephysiology #RehabTrainings #muscleactivation
