The Globus EMS Advantage

Maximize your strength and endurance. Recover faster and relieve muscle soreness

with a Globus Sport or Globus Fitness Electrical Muscle Stimulator

Why Buy From Us?

 

 

Electrical muscle stimulation offers a variety of programs that allow you to do several types of strength and endurance building workouts.

Massage and Active Recovery programs speed muscle adaptation. Replace your masseuse with faster, more thorough recovery.

Sitting on the couch, do a workout instead of biking or running in the rain, snow, heat or cold.

When you travel, replace workouts missed due to lack of proper training facilities or endless meetings.

 How Electric Muscle Stimulation Works

Electrostimulation uses electrical impulses acting on motorneurons and nerve terminals to promote muscle contraction in a manner similar to voluntary contraction.

Voluntary muscle contractions are controlled by the brain, which sends electrical impulses through the nerves that innervate a particular muscle. Electro-Muscle-Stimulation, or EMS (aka Electromyostimulation in medical terms) uses electrical impulses, acting on the same motoneurons and nerve terminals utilized by the brain, to contract muscles in a manner similar to voluntary contraction. EMS allows to fine tune muscles toward  the development of force, endurance, and faster recovery from sport performance and muscle soreness.

We know that muscle is not 100% active when doing voluntary exercise, which is a fact proven by science... "if someone is doing a maximal 5 second contraction, and you stimulate the muscle using an electric current, the force can go up, so clearly what the person thought was "everything" was actually still sub-maximal!                                                - The Science of Sport - May 2, 2008 Fatigue and Exercise - by Ross Tucker, Ph.D. Exercise Physiology.

Each pre-programmed workout is defined for the upper or lower body.

Electric Stimulation units are about the size of a hand-held Game Boy and has four leads, each split into positive (+) and negative (–) connectors. Reusable adhesive pads are placed at strategic points on the muscles you want to engage in a particular workout. Connect the leads to the wire coming from the pad and you are ready for your EMS work out.
