Electrical muscle stimulation in Lisbon.
EMS training in Lisbon: a training suit activates the main muscle groups during movements guided by your trainer. 25 minutes, once or twice a week.
Training assisted by impulses.
You wear a training suit with electrodes over the main muscle groups: chest, back, abs, lower back, glutes, thighs and arms.
The device sends controlled impulses that contract these muscles at the same time, while you perform strength movements guided by the trainer. The result is far greater muscle activation than a conventional workout in the same amount of time.
Peer-reviewed research on whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS): Kemmler et al., 2016 (randomised trial: EMS compared with high-intensity strength training), Kemmler et al., 2021 (meta-analysis in non-athletic adults) and the 2023 international safety guidelines.
