It is common knowledge that the frequency of electro-muscular stimulation can be adapted to the different needs that we have. It is not the same to want to gain muscle or strength than to want to reduce muscular discomfort after a workout. This is what we are going to talk about today, how different frequencies affect our body.

Why is it Important to Choose the Right Frequency?
Depending on the training phase we are in, we will have different needs. This is the key to avoid injuries and to reduce the rehabilitation time to the minimum possible.
Using the correct frequency at all times will help us achieve the best possible result and avoid injuries.

Effects of Different Frequencies in Our Body
When we use a high frequency, with the appropriate amplitude, we will develop the strength and anaerobic Resistance.
On the other hand, if we use a low frequency, it will help us to relax the muscles and improve our aerobic endurance.
The different effects of each frequency range are the following:

I. Between 2 and 4 Hz
When we use frequencies within this range, our muscles will interpret the stimuli as relaxing. In addition, in case of pain or muscle overload, we will interrupt the cycle “pain produces spasms, spasms produce pain”.

II. Between 4 and 8 Hz
With these frequencies we will make our levels of endorphins increase at the same time that we make our pain tolerance increase and our muscles get a feeling of massage.

III. Between 8 and 12 Hz
If we use the correct parameters, our body will feel that the area is being massaged. At the same time we will increase circulation in the area that is being worked on.

IV. Between 12 and 40 Hz
In this case we will make our aerobic capacity increase and we will activate the slow fibers.

V. Between 40 and 60 Hz
We will begin to work the power train and increase our muscular endurance. We can not forget that depending on the amplitude, we will stimulate different types of muscle fibers.

SAW. Between 60 and 80 Hz
From 60 Hz we will begin to develop the musculature, we will gain strength, resistance and muscular volume.

VII. Between 80 and 120 Hz
We will increase our strength and speed, while our muscles develop and all without suffering physiological or mental fatigue.

Please, always remember that the information that we provide from EMS online, is generic. Always adapt the training guidelines to the needs and limitations of each person.
