We explain why some people better withstand electrical intensity
In the previous post “This is how the electrical intensity determines the results of our training” we made a brief analysis of the electrical intensities that are supported at the RPEs that we set at the beginning of the investigation (5/10, 7/10 and 8/10) . We were able to verify that an average increase of […]
This is how the electrical intensity determines the results of our training
Electrical frequency and electrical intensity are two variables within EMS that play a very important role. The study we have carried out at Wiems Lab aimed to analyze the drift in heart rate with two different electrical frequencies (7 Hz and 21 Hz); however, we evaluated other variables that may explain why the drift is […]
What happens to heart rate when 7Hz and 21Hz are applied in different order
Heart rate (heart rate) is an exercise monitoring variable that tells us the heart rate. Normally, the higher the intensity, the higher the heart rate and, therefore, more fatigue and a greater impact on performance and health. That is why the whole body global electrostimulation (WB-EMS) is a tool that serves to raise the heart […]
Substrate oxidation could be related to an improvement in body composition
In today’s post, we are going to focus on the oxidation of energy substrates and its variation with respect to a conventional cardio exercise. It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the collaboration of the Profith group of the University of Granada, the analyzes carried out come from a gas analyzer. What does substrate oxidation […]
How much the Heart Rate can vary in a training with EMS
In previous blogs we have analyzed the protocol and strategy used to answer this question that arouses so much interest. In this sense, we are going to analyze the heart rate (HR) results detected during the cross-sectional study. At Wiems Lab we have developed several applications of Electrostimulation with the aim of knowing the derivation […]
Relationship of Electrostimulation and Electrical and Heart Rate in Energy Expenditure
In the previous study, we saw the drift that occurs in heart rate when we use whole-body global electrostimulation (WB-EMS) while performing a low-intensity aerobic elliptical exercise, and placing two different electrical frequencies (7 Hz and 21Hz). On this occasion, and after seeing the results obtained in the derivation of the heart rate, we are […]
This is how Fitness Electrostimulation affects Heart Rate
Full body global electrostimulation (WB-EMS) is a solution widely used in the fitness sector to enhance the results of a workout. This system works thanks to electrodes strategically placed in those main muscle groups. An electrical current or electrical impulse travels through these electrodes. This impulse penetrates the deepest muscle fibers, favoring a more powerful […]
This is how electrostimulation affects fat burning and nutrient oxidation
Metabolic inflexibility is characterized by the inability to use the appropriate energy substrates in each environmental situation. The body produces energy through two different metabolisms. On the one hand, we find energy production whose main substrate is carbohydrate, which is found in cereals such as pasta or rice. On the other hand, the other energy […]
This is how Electrostimulation in low frequencies affects Energy Expenditure
Obesity is considered one of the most prevalent diseases in today’s society and its condition leads to important health problems (1). The induction of a negative energy balance (energy expenditure greater than intake) is necessary for the reduction of body weight (2). Training with Whole Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) has already been shown to have benefits […]
Electrifitty Study: Training Planning
In previous blog posts, we discussed our intervention in body composition, as well as the results obtained in cardiovascular fitness and in muscular strength. On this occasion, we are going to give you the planning that was carried out, and we are going to offer all the details of this intervention. First of all, let […]
