PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Use in sport field
Different kinds of strength exist and they are measured in different ways. The maximum
development of strength is the absolute strength, without considering the body
weight; instead when the body weight is considered, we are talking about the
relative strength.
Here’s an example. We know that an ant is able to move an object that weights six
times more than it does, therefore it has a relative strength greater than any other
weight lifter, even if its absolute strength can be considered paltry.
Another element to be considered is the kind of effort made. For example, the running of a one
hundred meters runner is a performance very different from the one of a marathon runner and it
develops different strengths.
When the stimulation that our muscle bear is brief, intense and immediate, then we are measuring
the rapid strength. When it is extended during the time (and it requires the organism countering
certain fatigue), we are measuring the endurance strength.
Obviously, every kind of strength will have a training and a specific load to increase it.
Use in beauty field
The electrostimulation treatments in beauty field can be distinguished in two big
areas:
- specific programs to treat skin flaws: improvement of the capillary
microcirculation, toning and tissue firming, liquid drainage, increase in metabolism
and cellular activities, reduction and mobilization of the fat in the localized
deposits (e.g. cellulite, water retention, localized fat, …);
- toning or firming programs: for those who want to firm and tone their muscles but do not have
enough time to practice motor activity.
For long-lasting results, it should be used together with motor activities, as soon as possible. As you
will see, these programs contribute to reduce skin flaws through the general and localized increase
in the metabolism.
Among the innumerable applications in beauty field, we briefly summarize some of the main aims.
- Loss of weight/ Localized lipolysis
- Anti-cellulite treatment
- Lymphatic drainage
- Firming/Toning
Localized loss of weight
It is known that, when a person goes on diet, he/she loses fat more quickly in the areas where he/she
is already slim. For instance, when going on a diet, a woman, who does not have a voluminous
breast and wants to lose weight because of her large hips, is going to lose weight in the breast and
not in the hips.
To obviate the problem, it is necessary to resort to the so-called “localized loss of weight”, that is
the losing weight process that, through the increase in the muscle activity, enhances the
mobilization of the fat from the adipose tissue (lipolysis) in the areas next to the activated muscles.
