Electrical Muscle Stimulation
EMS means that electric impulses generated by a special device are transmitted to the skin by electrodes, directly over the group of muscles to be stimulated. The impulses make the muscles contract, which is very similar to the way the muscles actually move during a serious muscular effort.
About EMS
During sport and other physical activities, the brain’s messages are transmitted to the muscle’s neuromuscular connection through the nerve-tract by electrical impulses. The whole-body EMS technology delivers electrical stimulation directly to the muscles causing them to contract or relax just as they do during workout. EMS technology has a long history of research and development carried out to reach perfection. There are several distinct impulses used in the fields of therapy, cosmetology and rehabilitation. These kinds of stimuli, also known as voltaic currents, are different electrical waveforms that are apt to cause certain effects. When used properly, they contribute to the recreation and growth of muscle and connective tissue, as well as to the prevention of deep vein thrombosis, thus avoiding undesirable side effects.

What does electrical muscle stimulation do?
EMS is a Bio-Hack that uses how the brain talks to muscles. What does Electrical Muscle Stimulation do? Well, we must start by talking about what muscles do.... In everyday life, when we want to move; walk, run, exercise, cough, stretch, reach for our phone - really any movement or muscle action, it starts with a thought or signal from the brain and/or spinal cord. That thought or command to move from the brain is an electrical signal that travels down the nerves to the muscles. Just as the nerve gets to the muscle, (nerves that connect with muscles are called motor neurons) that terminal point is a connection called the neuromuscular junction. When that electrical signal gets to the neuromuscular junction it jumps across a tiny little gap called a synapse. Then the signal is transmitted along the muscle which then contracts as the brain directs it.
Impulse-Shift
Technology Thanks to the Impulse-Shift Technology (IST) the E-Fit devices cause much lower heat-and impulse-load to the body; making it safer, more comfortable and more eficient to use compared to other EMS devices. IST,developed by E-Fit engineers, is a unique method that shifts the respective impulses between channels in time,so the human body is stimulated in only one spot at any given moment in an unnoticeable manner, thanks to the carefully picked shifting frequencies. Some of the greatest advantages are that the cross-impulses between the channel-pairs can be prevented and the energy need of the device and the level of the output signal can be lowered to a small fraction of the original need. This means that the overall impulse-load forwarded to the human body will equal to the power of one channel only (even when calculated for 10 channels), so the full output performance of the device with manual control is 3.5 Watt maximum and the actual performance is not more than 0.06 Watt RMS, even considering the impulse peaks and the breaks between them.
