Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical muscle stimulation training system,

The present invention relates to an exercise assist system, and more particularly, to an electric muscle stimulation training system capable of directly controlling a stimulation pattern.

Recently, public interest in health has been increasing day by day, and a variety of devices for health promotion have been developed and widely spread to the general public.

In particular, a low-frequency therapeutic apparatus stimulates a local area of a human body with a low-frequency current generated from a low frequency generator, and is widely used for the treatment of obesity and pain.

As described above, there are known technologies such as the Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0392565 entitled "Low Frequency Therapy Device" (Registered Aug. 3, 2005) and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0114190 "Electric Therapy Stimulator for Deep Muscle Stimulation" And the Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2015-0105062 entitled "Diet and Therapy Belt Utilizing Low-Frequency Pads" (published on September 9, 2015) have been proposed.

Generally speaking, low-frequency energy is transmitted through the skin to the body through the skin to directly exercise the muscles to increase the basic metabolism, and directly stimulate the fat cells to reduce the number of cells can be reduced in size. In addition, by promoting blood circulation, the body temperature is increased, energy consumption is increased, skin is stimulated, and skin and colon are directly exercised to remove succulence and to stimulate the intestinal tract and constipation therapy is also possible.

The low frequency is similar to the human body current flowing in the human body, so it is easy to penetrate the human body and is suitable for stimulating the nerve and muscles. It stimulates the muscles to increase the activity, increase blood movement and promote blood circulation, Relieves symptoms such as fatigue.

On the other hand, among such low-frequency stimulators, a low-frequency stimulator for muscle exercise, which is called an EMS system (Electrical Muscle Stimulation System), is known in which muscles are exercised through low-frequency electric stimulation.

In recent years, low-frequency stimulators for muscle exercise have been commercially available as belts, but recently, forms that can be easily attached to the abdomen, forearm, thighs, and sides are available on the market.

However, the conventional low frequency stimulator for muscular exercise has to use individual products such as abdomen, forearm, thigh, side and the like for each body separately, and it is inconvenient to operate each product individually.

The conventional low frequency musical stimulator for muscle exercise has a disadvantage in that the electric stimulation can not be controlled in consideration of individual body characteristics and preference because it is a method of giving electric stimulation according to a predetermined program.
