Numerous studies by Erlangen-Nuremberg (2009), the German Sports University of Cologne (2008), and the Heart Clinic in Bad Oeynhausen (2010) have all scientifically proven how effective EMS training is. These researches show that:
- 88% of people tested reduced their back pain. Over 30% of those reported their recurring back problems had disappeared.
- 75% showed improvement with incontinence problems, while 33% of those were cured of incontinence altogether. Overall maximum strength ability increased by 12% while endurance/fitness levels improved by 69%.
- Training with higher intensity produced effective results, especially with subjects who suffered from recurring pain and other ailments. It also resulted in enhanced muscle definition and tone. On average, 85% of people tested felt an improvement of their body shape and 90% ranked the EMS training method as positive.
EMS Training improves muscle strength, increases range of motion, reduces edema, decreases atrophy, heals broken tissue, and decreases pain. A lot of research demonstrates EMS is a safe and useful technology during the treatment of: Coronary disease, Kidney disease, Injuries and articular cirugies, Diabetes and COPD. It is a highly intensive form of loading which mainly needs carbohydrates. The advantage of using a large amount of energy and having a better metabolic rate is that the body uses more calories due to which the total caloric expenditure increases
In addition, the resting expenditure increases so that the muscles in the body are built up. This leads to an increased reduction in the fat reserves. It is important that clients with good carbohydrate reserves (glycogen reserves) come to training in order to keep up with the demand.
