ELECTRIC STIMULATION
Electrostimulation was originally used only in rehabilitation therapy with
patients recovering from an injuries or a surgery. Nowadays it is also used
by sporty and common people to tone up or wind down muscles, for beau-
ty or in pain therapy. It is commonly accepted that electrostimulation can
be the least tiring and most efficient method to improve one’s physical ap-
pearance and to perform high level sport activities in a short time. Actually,
electric stimulation is a very efficient complement in your training, but it
cannot replace completely physical activity done through exercising. Elec-
trostimulation has to be regarded as an «integration» to a precise training
schedule. It can both improve muscle quality and act as a real prevention
and rehabilitation activity. Electrostimulation is a special way of training
applied to muscles by means of electric impulses (of different frequencies
according to the selected program) which contract physiologically the mu-
scle strengthening its action and increasing its mass, just like in ordinary
training sessions. As far as aesthetic is concerned, on many occasions
electrostimulation has been wrongly claimed as capable of achieving fabo-
lous results. It is important to stress that so far there are no scientific studies
proving the efficiency to lose weight or eliminate cellulite through electrosti-
mulation. It is certain that if used with specific programs and accompanied
by physical activity and a balanced diet, electrostimulation can contribute
significantly to improve physical aesthetic appearance. Electrostimulation
alone cannot work miracles, but it is an important complement to achieve
body balance and a sense of wellbeing.
