Physicians lend long therapeutic properties to electricity. Once in Rome, people used fish torpedoes against the joint pain. ECT also saw their heyday in neurology. Today, fashion is rather the weight . Now it sells devices that send to landfills contracting muscles . Their use is relatively simple. These stimulators are plugged into the power sector and transformed into nerve impulses comparable to those that we produce naturally. The muscle contracts, and this eventually leads to all sorts of adjustments. It is gaining strength, volume and tone. However, do not give too much credit to weight loss programs promising located (stomach and / or buttocks). The result is never as dramatic as in advertisements on television!
The electricity to the aid of performance!
Most of the great champions have adopted the method in disciplines such as skiing, tennis, rugby, athletics, cycling and even football. Its advantages are manifold. First, it is very easy to use and has few constraints on the joints. The physios sports use it elsewhere more frequently to maintain muscle mass during recovery or forced rest. For elite athletes, electrical stimulation can also save themselves extra nervous fatigue. Very valuable for those who are constantly changing the boundaries of overtraining. On a practical level too, it makes life easier. No need to go to gym: you can train at home or hotel. Simply stick the electrodes on the skin and send the sauce. But beware! These contractions are not without effort, without pain. Beyond a certain intensity, necessary to produce the building-, landfills become frankly difficult to bear. Some athletes do not get used to it!
New tracks
These techniques have been developed electrostimulation in the USSR at the time of communism. Athletes symbolized a sort of ideal citizen and we hesitate at nothing to make them more effective in international competition. In early experiments, the pain was such that it lulled squarely as guinea pigs for surgery.Then we found a way to alleviate suffering and to avoid the risks inherent in burning first experiments. For half a century, enormous progress has been made and electrostimulation are constantly discovering new fields of operation . Recovery, for example. The application of low currents in the muscle after exercise promotes recovery and prevents stiffness. Finally, the method is investigated by the team of Professor Rabishong (*) in Montpellier, in the rehabilitation of people paralyzed after rupture of the spinal cord. By electrical stimulation, the muscle is solicited directly by bypassing the brain controls. This has recently allowed a patient to take his first steps after 12 years in chair!
