EMS technology has existed for a long time and it is based on decades of research and development. Several distinct impulses are used in the fields of therapy, cosmetology and recreation. The history of the electric-muscle-stimulation goes back to 1791 to Luigi Galvani’s experiment. He stimulated the muscles of frogs by low frequency electricity. Based on his studies many researches started.
The Russian space research also started to use electro-muscle stimulation for training the astronauts in the space. Because of the lack of gravitational force and weightlessness in the space the astronauts had dystrophy disorders. With the whole body stimulation workout they could avoid the side effects of the weightlessness. Professional athletes also has started to use EMS technology while preparing for the Olympic Games.
In the 1990s German engineers developed the new generation of EMS equipment, which was widely used by professionals as well as physiotherapists and personal trainers. This scientific method has been developed and tested over a long period of experimental research and studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the E-FIT equipment. Several researches, medical and sport results prove its efficiency, and this technology has been registered as a recognized therapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
