WEEK 7
Electronic Muscle Stimulation EMS - for rehab
Maximum recruitment of type IIb muscle fibre through electro muscular stimulation. The contraction through electromuscular stimulation will be very intense and isometric in nature, this has two advantages,
1. It allows maximum stimulation without movement around a joint therefore not causing any stress on injured araes
2. It can preferentially recruit the type IIb - fast twitch muscle fibre which are the fibres we train for maximum power and strength.
*We can do this due to the way ems units by pass our own voluntary capacity for muscle recruitment.
