Allenamento EMS: cosa dice la scienza?
L'allenamento EMS è un allenamento total body che ti aiuta a perdere peso, migliorare la forza e stimolare la crescita muscolare. Permette inoltre di sciogliere le tensioni e correggere gli squilibri muscolari, facendo ad esempio scomparire i dolori alla schiena.
Impulsi elettrici del tutto innocui vengono trasmessi attraverso i nervi ai muscoli sottostanti. Di norma questi impulsi provengono dal cervello, ma il muscolo non distingue se l'impulso arriva dal cervello o dalla PowerBox eaglefit. Il risultato è lo stesso: il muscolo si contrae. Inoltre, l'EMS attiva molte più fibre muscolari rispetto all'allenamento tradizionale e raggiunge in modo più efficace la muscolatura profonda, un grande vantaggio soprattutto per chi inizia. Non dovendo sollevare carichi pesanti, l'EMS è anche molto più rispettoso delle articolazioni.
Ecco alcuni risultati di studi sull'EMS (in lingua inglese):
Effects of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation versus High-Intensity Resistance Exercise on Body Composition and Strength: A Randomized Controlled Study
Thus, Whole Body-EMS can be considered as an attractive, time-efficient, and effective option to HIT-resistance exercise for people seeking to improve general strength and body composition.

After 12 weeks of carefully monitored procedures, the EMS group showed a significant increase in maximal concentric/eccentric torque, squat strength, and squat and drop jump height, compared with the controls. Based on these findings, 12 weeks of EMS training had a significant effect on muscle strength.

The results of the study demonstrated that the 20-minute exercise plus EMS regimen was more effective for strength gains and lean mass maintenance than traditional isolation training.

With regard to the level of fitness, 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.
After a stimulation period of 3-6 weeks, significant gains were shown in maximal strength (isometric Fmax +58.8%; dynamic Fmax +79.5%), speed strength (eccentric isokinetic Mmax +37.1%; concentric isokinetic Mmax + 41.3%; rate of force development + 74%; force impulse + 29%; vmax + 19%), and power (+67%).
