In order to achieve noticeable physical and health improvements and
to exclude the possibility of overexertion due to training, the following
points must be complied with for the purposes of determining the opti-
mal level of training effort:
Dangers while training
The user must have a sufficient level of
health in order to perform training.
The physical condition of the user must be
verified before every training session.
The user must be healthy and feel fit enough
to perform a running module or a conven-
tional strength training module.
Muscle tension during EMS training
To avoid injuries during EMS training, the
section of muscles to be stimulated must be
tensed naturally and deliberately prior to
each stimulation phase.
This level of muscle tension is to be main-
tained during the course of a stimulation
phase.
Training intensity
Physical exertion during training must be higher than the normal level
of exertion when not training. However, loss of breath or fatigue should
not arise during training. Ability to talk serves as a benchmark: The
trainee must always be capable of speaking with normal respiration dur-
ing training.
A pulse measurement can be incorporated in order to determine an ef-
fective training intensity. During training, the pulse should be within a
range of 70% and 85% of the maximum pulse.
The pulse can be measured during breaks in training by pressing on
e.g. the wrist and counting the beats within a minute, or a suitable pulse
measurement device can be used.
