I want to reshape my silhouette :
Can I use SPORT-ELEC ® on all the parts of my body ?
Apparatuses SPORT-ELEC ® are adapted to the work at all the muscular parts of the body.
To recruit the totality of fibres of its 600 muscles the human body must make intense and prolonged physical efforts. In electro-musculation this work is completed without effort. SPORT-ELEC ® was especially conceived to invigorate the small muscles like the bicepses or the deltoïdes, as well as the large muscles like the glutei or the quadricepses for example. The forbidden areas are those of the cardiac muscle, the neck and the face.
Does it hurt ?
No, it doesn’t. Since SPORT-ELEC ® uses only one biphasic current with " compensated to null continuous components ", thus cancelling the risks of burns. The intensity necessary to the muscular contraction depends on the morphology of each one and only 8% of users SPORT-ELEC ® reach this maximum intensity, that is to say 100mA. They are mainly professional sportsmen accustomed to physical efforts.
Do apparatuses SPORT-ELEC ® also act on effect of "orange peel" skin?
The stimulations emitted by generators SPORT-ELEC ® act in favour of the scaling the adipocytes. The electro-conducting massage cream with slimming properties SPORT-ELEC ® helps the elimination of the fat cells. The clinical tests showed : Regular use of an apparatus SPORT-ELEC ® allows a significant reduction in fat tissues and a -5% thinning.
Is the use of electro-musculation comparable with the sport practice ?
The muscle is unable to make the difference between a voluntary contraction (ordered by the brain) and an electro-induced impulse (ordered by an external generator). Produced work is the same one. However only the muscles requested by apparatus work, which is not the case of your heart and your respiratory system. SPORT-ELEC ® is a complement to sports activity. Its vocation is not to substitute for it.
I am a sportsman :
hen is SPORT-ELEC® useful for a sportsman ?
The advantage of apparatuses SPORT-ELEC ® is in the multitude of its programs which make it possible to work a muscle or a muscular group in a very specific way in resistance, explosive force, in endurance, and maintains some muscular groups during the time sporting inactivity. Thanks to its programs SPORT-ELEC ® enables you to optimize your sport sessions.
I am tri athlete, my physiotherapist advised me to use the SPORT-ELEC ® Sport Pro to optimize my usual drive, why ?
Programs: preparation and recovery : Before and after a drive, the muscles need to be relaxed as then they can reach the maximum of their power. A session of Sport Pro allows to increase the vascularization of the muscle. That avoids the accumulation of a lactic acid, which is the origin of cramps and the aches.
Program: muscular reinforcement : Electro-musculation can be used in complement to traditional efforts as it does not stress the body and allows an intensive muscular activity by avoiding the shocks due to feet race , for example.
I have muscular pains :
I’ve got a back ache, can I use apparatuses SPORT-ELEC ® ?
The apparatuses COMBI, Body Beautiful or DUO CT5 are equipped with multifunctional belt in particular to act " where it hurts ". Thanks to the programs “massage” and “ endorphin”, the electrodes belt diffuses impulses making it possible to relieve the muscular pains. By a skilful stimulation of the sensory nerves, the belt shorts-circuit the pain signal before it arrives at the brain. Then it stimulates the production of endorphins, these analgesic molecules naturally produced in reaction to certain types of pains. It is preferable to ask for your doctor’s advice before any use.
I just had a baby :
I need to develop again my muscles but have neither energy nor time to do sport regularly.
After a period of physical inactivity electromusculation allows to regain the muscular tonus. SPORT-ELEC ® is also a proved efficient way to fight against the skin relaxation. Use SPORT-ELEC ® at least 1mois and half after the childbirth and your muscles regain a normal tonic effect and the electromusculation sessions will be more effective.
I have blood circulation troubles :
I often feel my legs heavy and it seems that electromusculation can treat this type of problem ?
To relieve the feeling of "heavy legs" the "massage" programs SPORT-ELEC® allow a local vascularization which favours blood circulation and help the sensation of heaviness to disappear. The COMBI, last innovation SPORT-ELEC ® , consists of 7 clothes and is provided with integrated electrodes which can be placed as " arm-bands" on the arms or the calves. The COMBI is used with the electro-conductrive massage cream SPORT-ELEC ® which is applied to the integrated electrodes. Essential tool for the care of your legs, the arm-bands of the COMBI combine the comfort of the cream with the softness of the massage program for a great moment of relaxation.
