Users of EMS

Many Olympic sprinters today use EMS as part of their training programme, from the early years of the controversial Ben Johnson to the current World 100m record holder, Usain Bolt. Besides sprinters, soccer players such as Karim Benzema, Mario Gomez, Ryan Bertrand and even the whole Bayern Munich team utilizes EMS as testified by their fitness coach Oliver Schmidtlein.

“The analysis shows that trained and elite athletes, despite their already high level of fitness, are able to significantly enhance their level of strength to same extent as is possible with untrained subjects. The EMS offers a promising alternative to traditional strength training for enhancing the strength parameters and motor abilities described above. Because of the clear-cut advantages in time management, especially when whole-body EMS is used, we can expect this method to see the increasing use in high-performance sports.”
