1. Increased Muscle Activation: Studies show that EMS can help improve muscle strength and endurance by stimulating deep muscle layers that may not be as easily engaged during traditional exercises.
2. Time Efficiency: EMS sessions are often shorter, usually around 20–30 minutes, but are claimed to be as effective as a longer, high-intensity workout. This appeals to people looking for a quick and efficient workout solution.
3. Rehabilitation and Recovery: EMS is commonly used in physical therapy for muscle rehabilitation after injuries. It helps maintain muscle tone and promotes blood circulation, which aids in recovery.
4. Weight Loss and Fat Reduction: While EMS training can increase muscle mass, it may contribute to weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular cardio. However, EMS alone isn’t a silver bullet for significant fat loss.
