Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for strengthening and toning muscles. In particular, the present invention relates to strengthening muscles with electrical pulses through the use of electrochemistry. Background technique
[0002] Using electricity to tone or strengthen muscles has a long history of questionable claims. Most of these claims are unsubstantiated. Neither NASA nor any professional athletes or bodybuilders use the technology, instead relying on traditional resistance training.
[0003] Rehabilitation specialists, chiropractors, and physical therapy doctors still subject patients to rigorous electrotherapy. They claim this has some effect on changes in muscle structure but cannot give details about this structural change. The endorsement of electrotherapy for muscle strengthening is based on changes in patient performance. These changes were so insignificant that electrotherapy had to be discontinued or proved to be...
