Recovery of the muscles in the rest period in between high performance is important. Research have shown that using EMS during recovery produces the highest reduction in blood lactate levels…
A recent EMS study completed by Andre Filipovic (Institute of Sport Science and Sport Informatics, German Sport University, Cologne, Germany) revealed that much improvements can be gained by elite soccer players when they’ve incorporated Whole Body EMS in their training. The test indicated:
› (Maximum) strength performance increased on average by 30.07 %
› Jumping performance increased on average by 9.14 %
› Speed and sprint performance increased on average by 19.38 %
› Kicking speed increased on average by 16.3 %
Strength is essential in all forms of professional sports. Whether it’s a 100 meter sprint or a grueling marathon, athletes train each day to increase strength. Strength doesn’t necessarily mean muscle mass, huge shoulders or rippling calves (although these can be developed), but it simply refers to the ability to have extra muscle fiber to draw upon to generate powerful movements.
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.”
