Accelerate Its Recovery with Muscle Stimulation
Whatever the sport practiced, the muscle recovery Recovery is an important process during which muscles resynthesize their energy stores and get rid of accumulated toxins. As you can see, recovery is an integral part of the progression phase in a sport. Discover how nutrition and electrostimulation will help you recover faster.
The Importance of Muscle Recovery
If you watch a boxing match, you may have noticed that some fighters get their legs massaged between rounds, the same goes for football players during halftime. They do this to improve blood circulation and electrical stimulation and massage guns by percussion works in the same way.
Some of your capillaries, which are the blood vessels between arteries and veins, are so small that blood cells must travel in a single file. When you exercise, muscle tissue begins to swell, and when this happens, blood flow to these tiny blood vessels can be cut off.
These effects on blood flow can reduce recovery between workouts. Metabolic waste can back up into the muscles, preventing valuable nutrients from reaching their destination.
In the case of bodybuilding for example, if your goal is to gain muscle mass, it is during the next 48-72 hours that your muscles will replenish their nutrients, recover and hypertrophy (mass gain).
Muscle recovery is an integral part of sports training, and it's important not to neglect this phase. Here are the direct risks associated with poor recovery: :
- Immune system weakened
- Weight loss muscular
- Risks of injuries
- Retention of water
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
Rewarding your efforts by recovering properly will help you perform better, and therefore, progress. fasterTo achieve this, muscle stimulation is highly valued among athletes in order to reduce the time needed for optimal recovery. We will discuss this in more detail below.
Does electrostimulation increase muscle recovery?
Electrical muscle stimulation is not a new science. Doctors and physical therapists use electrical muscle stimulation, also known as EMS technology or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), to treat Olympic athletes and top fitness professionals for decades.

If you are a fitness enthusiast and you wish develop your muscles , you have probably heard of electrical muscle stimulation. Perhaps you have even already purchased one of our muscle stimulators? 😉
Electrostimulation improves blood flow through muscle activation. Previously The major problem is that there is great variability between individuals regarding the exact level of electrical stimulation required. It is possible to make it too intense, creating either pain or additional muscle fatigue.
For solve this problem, We offer new-generation stimulators with a specific program for muscle recovery! You can combine self-massage with muscle stimulation to oxygenate muscles, reduce pain, and eliminate toxins, including lactic acid. Recovery time between exercises and after training will be reduced.
This practice is increasingly prized by athletes and individuals of all levels for its many benefits. From warming up to intensifying your workouts for faster progress, while accelerating recovery after training. Electrical muscle stimulation has become a unavoidable.

Nutrition and stimulation for effective muscle recovery
At Élec-Tonic, we take a holistic approach to health, fitness, and recovery performance. Get the most out of electrical muscle stimulation by taking care of your body from the inside out. It is important to prioritize the healthy nutrition throughout your fitness journey.
Eat the right foods and maintain a good hydration contributes to optimal recovery. Smart nutrition, combined with the technology of our stimulators, is a recipe for success in terms of complete and rapid recovery.
Our team of fitness professionals recommends that your pre-workout meal should consist of 75% of carbohydrates and 25% of protein for bodybuilding and muscle-building workouts.
The exact amount of protein you need to eat varies depending on your weight and the intensity and duration of your workout.nement.Mangez this meal between one and two hours Before your muscle strengthening session.
Cardio days, carbohydrates will make up most or all of your pre-workout meal. Your body quickly metabolizes carbohydrates into glucose (which equals energy!), so you'll want to eat this meal between 30 and 60 minutes before your cardio workout. To prevent fatigue and maintain your energy, add protein and fiber during rest periods throughout your workout. Maltodextrin is also a great supplement to consume during your fitness session.
Optimal pre-workout meals include egg whites, spinach, apples, mangoes, whole-grain toast, whole-grain or mixed-grain hot cereal, flax seeds, Greek yogurt, and protein shakes.
Hydration is the most important goal after training. Experts agree that it is best to consume a protein-rich meal or shake protein powder within two hours of a workout to help your body build lean muscle.
If you've finished an intense cardio workout, you'll need to replenish your energy with a snack rich in carbohydrates. Protein and carbohydrates combined are needed after training to help repair muscles and prevent soreness.
You can speed up your recovery by using muscle stimulation or a massage gun after or during training.
EMS technology scientifically proven present in our devices gently contracts and massages your muscles to promote blood circulation, oxygenate the muscles and eliminate lactic acid from your muscles so that they can recover as quickly as possible.
Ready to progress faster Previously reserved for professionals, this cutting-edge technology is now available to the general public, take advantage of it ! 🙂
