Your Katalyst Journey
Welcome to Katalyst, an exciting and brand new way of thinking about your fitness training. Katalyst uses
electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) technology to improve body composition, increase strength and
endurance, enhance muscle tone, and even address some muscular imbalances.
To engage all your major muscle groups effectively and get the most out of your Katalyst Training System,
please read this manual carefully before you start your first workout. For your convenience, the Katalyst
Training System is wirelessly controlled by the Katalyst App which can run on any iPad running iOS 13 or
higher.
Indications for Use
The Katalyst Training System is an over-the-counter device designed to stimulate healthy muscles in order
to improve or facilitate muscle performance. It is to be used by adults only.
The Katalyst Training System is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical
diseases or medical conditions of any kind. None of the training programs or operational parameters are
designed to target injured or ailing muscles; the Katalyst Training System’s use on such muscles is
contraindicated.
The Katalyst Training System's electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motoneurons
of motor nerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurons are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the
motor endplate, where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work.
Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration
of rest, and total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated
muscles.
