EMS Training
Electric pulse stimulation: directly activates muscle fibers, bypassing nerve recruitment limitations, especially targeting deep muscle groups such as multifidus and transversus abdominis.
Metabolic characteristics: Mainly characterized by increased local blood flow and electromyographic activity, with less lactate accumulation and faster recovery.
Hormone response: Growth hormone (GH) secretion increases by about 30%, but testosterone increase is lower than that of heavy weight training.
Traditional strength training
Mechanical tension dominance: By carrying weight, muscle fibers are damaged, triggering the mTOR pathway to promote synthesis.
Systemic metabolic stress: significantly increases lactate and cortisol levels, promoting thickening of type II muscle fibers.
Neuroadaptation: Enhance the recruitment efficiency and motor control ability of motor units.
