Note: The electrode pads need to be
applied directly to the skin before the

operate. If the Sports TENS 2 detects the unit
is not properly connected to you (for example if
the electrode pads or leads come loose) then
the unit switches the intensity to zero. This
safety feature prevents
changes in output.

HOW 'EMS' WORKS

4.
E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation
and has successfully been used in medical
rehabilitation and training in competitive sports.
EMS produces intensive and effective muscular
contraction.
EMS is a complement to other physical therapy
and should always be combined with active
mobility, strength, coordination and functional
training.
In training, the technology for electrotherapy is
used for all kinds of muscular exercise - warm-
up, strength, speed,
endurance, recovery and also for rehabilitation.
EMS is well known and works as an excellent
complement to regular training.
Advantages of EMS
Use of EMS will help to tone and shape the
body by contracting the selected muscle group.
It is particularly convenient for areas that are
famous for losing their shape and hard to
exercise such as the upper arms and the face.

Successful athletes all over the world have
discovered the advantages of electrical muscle
stimulation, such as an increase of the local
circulation and the size of the muscle fibres.
How EMS Works
Muscular activity is produced by the central and

peripheral
electrical stimuli to the muscles of our body.
EMS uses external electrical impulses that work
through the skin to stimulate the nerves
supplying a specific muscle group.
This current then passes into the nerve fibres
controlling that part of the muscle stimulating it
to contract. So, electrical stimulation (EMS)
artificially activates a muscle for you enabling to
exercise the muscles and, as with any kind of
exercise if performed regularly, build strength
and tone.
Different frequencies have different effects; low
frequencies (1-10 Hz) coupled with long
impulse times, for example, have a purifying
and relaxing
contractions, whereby the circulation in the
treated muscle is simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products is supported
(lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid succession of
contractions (fibrillation), medium frequencies
(20-50 Hz) can put a high level of strain on the
muscle, thus promoting the muscular structure.
