Description

DESCRIPTION

Integral electrostimulation system with elastic bands and monitoring.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION 5

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, consists of a vest-type garment designed to be part of a conventional muscular electrostimulation system that additionally incorporates elastic bands and real-time monitoring system of Different physiological variables. 10

BACKGROUND IN THE STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

In everyday life, our central nervous system constantly sends electrical impulses to control our muscular actions. Muscle electrostimulation systems 15 use this natural principle to reach the deepest muscle layers that are difficult to activate through conventional training. This is possible thanks to the special training vest that provides additional stimuli to the muscle from the outside.

 twenty

It is known to all that the technology of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), directly carries the electrical stimulation to the muscles, causing them to contract and relax in the same way as if we did sports.

EMS technology has been around for a long time and is based on decades of research and development. Many different types of electrical impulses are applied in medicine, cosmetology and sports recreation. These different forms of waves called electrical impulses or galvanic currents are suitable to achieve specific effects, and their proper use helps the regeneration and development of muscles and connective tissue without the undesirable side effects and prevents the risk of thrombosis. 30

Today EMS technology is present not only in aeronautics and professional sports but also in daily training to facilitate and thus make your training more effective.

 35

The history of electrical muscle stimulation dates back to 1791, with the experiments of Luigi Galvani. Since then, numerous research studies, medical and sports results have demonstrated its effectiveness, this technology has been registered as a therapeutic method recognized by the Department of Food and Drug Administration of the United States Department of Health. 40

EMS technology stimulates the body to intensive muscular work, similar to resistance training performed with weightlifting, but in less time without reloading the joints, and makes the muscles work by simultaneously stimulating both superficial and deep muscles. . The method can also be used in competitive sports, medical rehabilitation, prevention and in daily practice and gives everyone the opportunity to produce a performance that would otherwise be possible only with many years of hard work.

It works actively, while the muscles also receive stimulation through 50 EMS. This unique combination leads to an additional increase in tension, thus producing highly effective training results and at an unattainable level with methods.

conventional. The personal trainer can control each muscle group by adjusting the intensity of the training according to the individual goals.

With EMS, visible and tangible results are achieved in a very short time. It is a very comfortable, fast and effective training system, which implies a greater optimization of 5 resources based on the following characteristics:

1) Speed

The time required to obtain objective physical results through conventional training 10 is higher, compared to what we have. However, with EMS we can quickly obtain surprising and visible results. With just 20 minutes of work per session, it will be enough to obtain the objectives that we would achieve in more than 90 minutes of training.

2) Global work and training specificity.

With EMS we can stimulate all the body muscles simultaneously, both agonist and antagonistic muscles, which are exercised at the same time. The electrodes are strategically placed in large muscle groups. In addition, we can choose the intensity of each muscle group, adapting each objective precisely in a very specific and personal way. In this way we can increase the intensity of any muscle regardless of the rest.

4) Loss of adipose tissue. 25

 With this training system we find another great solution to the most frequent social demands, such as fat loss. By working in a shorter but intense way, we can accelerate our metabolism, thus increasing the energy demand of the cells. We can also work with high loads without loading or damaging our 30 joints.

5) Anti-cellulite

Cellulite that has always been very difficult to eliminate is visibly reduced. One of the 35 reasons for its appearance is due to the weakness of the connective tissues. However, with EMS training we stimulate these tissues and favor the reduction of body waste by improving blood circulation.

6) Healthy back 40

Most backaches are due to bad body postures. Many of them are produced because the muscles that are responsible for keeping the spine upright, are not usually worked due to the difficulty of its depth. With EMS we stimulate these muscles by improving the position and stability of the spine. Four. Five

7) Personal training

Each training done is completely personalized and individual. The configuration of each training can be modified, responding to each demand precisely. fifty

In addition, the training data of each user can be saved to see the progress and establish each session in the most appropriate way, so we will obtain results in the fastest and most optimal way.

8) Use for all levels

We can work very gradually from any level. Although we use very soft intensities, we will be able to stimulate the muscles so that each time we can increase the workload. This allows us to work with individuals of all working ages. 5

9) Training safety. Out injuries

One of the most frequent reasons for joint damage caused by training is the load carried by them. With this new training we will avoid these 10 problems, since it will not be necessary to carry it out. Some health problems may be greatly benefited for this reason specifically, such as osteoporosis and osteopenia patients who need a large load to stimulate the growth of bone mineral mass and their joints could be easily damaged if they performed these weight training. fifteen

However, current EMS systems have the disadvantage that training is absolutely individual and requires a personal trainer with a physical presence at the place where the training takes place.

 twenty

However, the "Comprehensive electrostimulation system with elastic bands and monitoring" by incorporating a heart rate monitor and making an initial data collection on the user, provide the advantage of being designed to present to the user on a screen in real time the information he needs to optimize training performance, without any risk, reducing or eliminating the need for the physical presence of a personal trainer.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

As an explanation of the "Integral electrostimulation system with elastic bands and monitoring", it is a passive training system fully compatible with another type of active training, and used as a means to perform physical activity, electrostimulation techniques through a sportswear type vest or jumpsuit and a set of elastic bands and incorporates a heart rate monitor for the constant measurement of heart rate variability, monitoring of different physiological variables in real time and training optimization.

That is, the electrostimulation sportswear itself incorporates a heart rate monitor whose reading in combination with the previous registration of each user's personal information and using a computer application for this purpose, information presented 40 in real time is obtained before the user on a display screen, where you can see how the body is responding to the exercise; how many calories you have consumed, what is the effect of the training you have accumulated, your cardiac response or oxygen consumption.
