n Deeper muscle groups can be easily reached.
n The training is very intense and thus accordingly short (10 – 20
minutes).
On the one hand, EMS training can be used on a large part of the
body. On the other hand, EMS training permits athletes/patients to
attain a training intensity level that is substantially higher than that
of conventional workout methods. This is why a few special consid-
erations must be observed during the training process. Regardless
of the athletic background and physical condition, the instructions
on the training frequency and regeneration – in particular for EMS
beginners – must be observed Ä Chapter 5.3 “Training frequency
and regeneration” on page 48 .
5.3 Training frequency and regeneration
Risk from overtraining!
– Always give your body sufficient regeneration time.
– Do not train if suffering from continued severe muscle
ache.
– In the event of overload, do cyclical alternating intensive
and regenerative workouts on different days.
Overtraining can result in physical weakness, sleep disorders,
headaches, increased resting and active pulse rate, muscle
and tendon pains, and also depression among other things.
The recommended training frequency is 1 – 2 times per week. Do
not train when feeling unwell, in the event of severe muscle ache
or other contraindications ( Ä Chapter 2.3 “Risks due to physical
condition: Contraindications” on page 18 ).
Danger to health from EMS training if performed while ill or
otherwise fatigued!
– If ill, only train after consulting with your doctor.
– Always eat and drink sufficiently before training
Ä
“Always
eat and drink sufficiently” on page 49. Never train on an
empty stomach.
– Follow the instructions on training frequency and regenera-
tion

Chapter 5.3 “Training frequency and regeneration”
on page 48.
EMS training is an intense workout that challenges the body. If
the athlete/patient is ill or otherwise fatigued due to health
reasons, their body is unable to cope with the exertion and
their illness may become worse as a result
Just as with intense conventional workouts, EMS training may only
be performed if the body is in adequate physical condition.
