Is it possible to make the figure of an athlete, not laying exercise?

Yes, it is possible. Years ago, this feature was available only elite athletes, but today it is available to everyone. Can melt the excess fat, to brace ourselves muscles and sculptured figure with apparatus Electrical Muscle Stimulation, more popular nowadays with the name celutron. Procedures celutron now available in health clubs, spas and beauty studios at quite affordable prices. You even can use it at home.

Electrical muscle stimulation, also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation or electrical muscle stimulation, stimulation of muscle contraction using electric impulses.

Electro-muscular stimulation has increasing popularity in recent years because it has the potential to serve as:

Training tool in healthy subjects and athletes;

Rehabilitation and preventive means to partially or completely immobilized patients;

Tool for evaluation of neuronal muscle function;

After training, recovery tool for athletes.

The pulses are generated by the device and are delivered through the electrodes to the skin near the muscle to be stimulated. The impulses mimic the action of the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. The electrodes are generally pads that attach to the skin with elastics. The use of electro- stimulation was quoted by sports scientists as a complementary technique in sports training. There are published studies and the results achieved.

Of the XVIII Congress of the International Society of electro physiology and kinesiology, which was held in Aalborg, Denmark, 16-19 June 2010 there was a special session: electrical stimulation testing and training in exercise and sports. As part of her were published numerous scientific articles and reviews.

history

The first scientific evidence that current can activate muscles provides Luigi Galvani (1791). In the 19th and 20th century, scientists studied and documented the exact electrical properties that create muscle movement. They found that the functions of the body, caused by electrical stimulation, causing long-term changes in the muscles. In the 60 years of Soviet sports scientists apply electrical muscle stimulation in training elite athletes and found that they increase power by 40%.

use

Electrical muscle stimulation may be used as a training, therapeutic and cosmetic tool. In medicine, electrical muscle stimulation is used in physical therapy to prevent muscle atrophy due to musculoskeletal injuries, damage to the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Because of the effect it has on the appearance, electrical muscle stimulation is used for aesthetic purposes.

Apparatus for the electro stimulation causes burning calories, although not in a significant amount as in exercise when participating several muscle groups at once, along with the heart and respiratory system. However, some scientists believe that electro- stimulation may be perceived as performing physical exercises, as after the therapy, the muscles are trained and able to withstand the physical activity.

In electro- stimulating workout is targeting specific muscle groups. This helps in shaping the muscles of the body, according to the desired goal. Many coaches use regular professional electrical muscle stimulating device as an integral part of the training of athletes.

But there lay devices to be used at home (see: Electrical Muscle Stimulation for home use). They can be used both for aesthetic and for the following purposes:

Relieve muscle spasms;

Prevention or retardation of muscle atrophy;

Accelerate local blood circulation;

Training of the muscles;

For stimulation of the calves immediately after surgery to prevent venous thrombosis;

Maintaining and increasing the coverage of the movement.

It is important to observe certain rules when using electro- stimulation:

Do not use in the presence of a pacemaker;

Do not use on vital parts, such as carotid sinus nerves in the chest or brain;

Be used with caution in pregnancy, menstruation and other specific conditions that may be affected by muscle contractions.
