The Science Behind Pulse EMS Training

Pulse EMS is a cutting-edge technology that is used as a revolutionary training tool. Electrical impulses are generated by a device and delivered through electrodes placed directly over the muscles to be stimulated. The impulses cause the muscles to contract more effectively, thereby amplifying your effort.

Pulse EMS training methods utilize electrical impulses to achieve a controlled contraction of the skeletal striated muscles. In conventional training, muscles are controlled by the central nervous system via electrical signals to cause contraction and movement. In EMS, the muscles receive external electrical impulses, this allows the muscles to contract without a signal from the central nervous system.

There are several theories on how EMS may assist muscle strengthening. One potential reason is that when you maximally contract a muscle, at best, only 30% of all your muscle fibers are in a state of contraction. The remaining 70% are dormant and awaiting recruitment when the contracting fibers fatigue. With EMS you can potentially electrically stimulate these resting muscle fibers to improve their strength. Clinically, EMS appears to be more effective when the muscles are very weak, and you have difficulty performing normal anti-gravity exercises.

Another reason that EMS potentially works is via an improvement in the recruitment of nerve conduction rates.  Explained simply, it takes approximately 10000 repetitions for your brain to learn how to quickly send a message to your muscles via the quickest nerve pathways. This contraction pattern becomes your “memory engram.” The more frequently your muscle is recruited the better your body becomes at finding the quickest way to recruit that muscle. EMS can potentially provide you with repeated contractions to accelerate this learning process.
