EMS | Electronic Muscle Stimulators From Compex
Whether you're a weekend warrior looking to speed your
recovery or an elite athlete trying to increase vertical jump,
Compex devices can help you reach your goal.
Simply put, electric muscle stimulation trains your muscles in a way that traditional workouts alone cannot. It is a "best kept secret" many elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts use to enhance their workouts and training programs. Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) -- also known as neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES), muscle stim or e-stim -- sends electronic pulses to your motor nerves in order to create muscle contractions.
When Compex electric muscle stimulation is added to your training, it helps maximize your muscular effort by engaging a greater percentage of muscle fibers. Compex targets both Type 1 slow twitch muscle fibers which impact endurance and Type 2 fast twitch muscle fibers with impact power and explosiveness. Compex can help your training efficiency allowing for enhanced fitness results.

DYNAMIC WARM-UPS
Warm up your muscles with pre-designed programs so you can make your time in the gym more efficient.
Warming up the muscle before a workout has been shown to help reduce the risk of injury during your workout and activities.
PERFORMANCE-BOOSTING WORKOUTS
Your muscles don't know if you're using EMS or lifting weights. When you do both, Compex recruits your muscle fibers to help take your workouts to the next level.
The Compex device allows you to add additional resistance to the muscle without having to lift as much weight.
This helps keep stress off of the joints while you to work towards your goals.
CAN EMS HELP BUILD MUSCLES?
Clinical studies have found that EMS (or NMES) can help build muscle and provide a variety of performance enhancing effects.
Some of these effects are increasing muscle density, improving VO2, increasing strength, and power output for movements such as a vertical jump*.

What is TENS?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) are tiny electrical pulses delivered through a device which can help alleviate pain through two different means. By stimulating the sensory nerves TENS produces high levels of endorphins to help ease body pain. The other method of pain relief, known as GATE Control Theory, works to block pain signals to the brain.
EMS vs. TENS
EMS (Electrical muscle stimulation) is often confused with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), a common modality used in physical therapy offices. Compex EMS provides an electrical current at a specifically designed frequency to target motor nerves. These nerves activate the muscle to contract based on the amount of resistance applied through the device. The brain goes through a similar process when actual weights are lifted.
TENS is designed to target sensory nerves. Typically, sensory nerves receive a signal that they relay to the brain, the brain then decides if the stimulus is painful, soft, warm, etc. When using a TENS program the goal is to alleviate pain by either inducing an endorphin release (Low Frequency TENS programs) or to block the pain signals to the brain through the Gate Theory (High Frequency TENS programs).
