EMS and biokinetics, muscle length training

Biokinetics is a method of muscle length training in which the entire muscle chain is lengthened and simultaneously trained for strength. EMS (Electromyostimulation) is a training method that uses electrical impulses to contract muscles.

The combination of EMS and biokinetics offers the following advantages:

More intensive training: By combining with EMS Muscle activation is increased, making training much more effective.
Time savings: Through EMS the necessary load is reached more quickly, which means that the exercises can be kept shorter.
Better muscle building: EMS can help muscles become stronger and longer.
Improved body awareness: Through the EMS-Impulses let you feel which muscle chains you should activate and which you shouldn't – the exercise execution is automatically optimized.
People with limited mobility can get into training more easily: EMS can help to activate muscles despite limited mobility.

Conclusion
EMS in combination with biokinetics is a very efficient method to optimize muscle length training, which is suitable for both healthy individuals and those with limited mobility. Your ideal PRO EMS-System.

The exercises:

The following exercises can be performed very easily and simply at work or at home. EMS-suit you don't need any other equipment or aids apart from a band.

The general rule for all exercises is: Never train through pain, always listen to your body's signals, and avoid exerting too much force. You should not perform these exercises if you are experiencing acute pain, injury, or illness. The hip flexor exercise should also not be performed if you have diastasis recti, are pregnant, or have an abdominal, inguinal, and/or umbilical hernia.

Holding periodYour muscles may tremble slightly and may also work. If you feel strained, take three to five deep breaths and then slowly release the exercise. You should not end the exercise abruptly; rather, come out slowly and in a controlled manner. If you experience pain during the exercise, end the exercise slowly and check that you have performed the exercise correctly. It is important that you never train into pain or exceed a limit. After completing the exercise, loosen your muscles again with gentle movements, such as shoulder circles or taking a few steps.

Exercise for the hip flexors (back tilt) with variation of stance width and foot position

(EMS: Settings/Mobility/activate front chain)
Overview of all EMS-Systems from eaglefit: Overview

Starting position: Stand loosely, from hip-width to wide standing, all stance widths can be practiced, feel free to stand in front of a wall, table, in the door frame, this gives security, barefoot or on EMS-Non-slip socks (so you don't slip), the feet turn either slightly inwards or slightly outwards into a "V"
Your toes press down into the ground, shifting the center of gravity forward onto the toes
This makes your heels light, they do not actively lift from the ground
Your legs are loosely stretched
Your pelvis pushes forward over your feet as far as possible
Imagine: An imaginary thread pulls your pelvis forward
To compensate, your upper body moves slightly backwards
Your chin sinks slightly towards your sternum, making a double chin
Your arms either hang loosely down, or are stretched upwards and lean slightly backwards
Your shoulders do not pull up to your ears, they remain low

A notice:
You can also perform the exercise standing in the doorway. This will give you better support if you lose your balance. Alternatively, you can gently hold onto the tabletop for additional security.

Exercise for the hip flexors (back bend) with stretch

(EMS: Settings/Mobility/activate front chain)

Diagonal exercise from left leg/pelvis to right shoulder
Starting position: Stand loosely, from hip to shoulder width, preferably in front of a wall, table, in the doorway, this gives security, barefoot or on EMS-Nozzle socks (so you don't slip), your feet are aligned straight forward
Your toes press down into the ground, shifting the center of gravity forward onto the toes
This makes your heels light, they do not actively lift from the ground
Your legs are loosely stretched
Your pelvis pushes forward over your feet as far as possible
Imagine: An imaginary thread pulls your pelvis forward
To compensate, your upper body moves slightly backwards
Your chin sinks slightly towards your sternum, making a double chin
Your arms either hang loosely
Your shoulders do not pull up to your ears, they remain low
From this position your upper body turns slightly to the right
Presentation: Push your right shoulder back and up
Your right side should become longer and not shorter
Your left pelvis pushes further forward over your left foot
Your pelvis itself does not rotate
Your gaze follows the upper body slightly over the right shoulder
Correct your chin again and make a double chin
Repeat exercise with the other side

Differentiation exercise from hollow back:

During this exercise, you might suspect that you are arching your back go.

But the exact opposite is the case. As the pictures show, when you have a hollow back, your pubic bone sinks under your body, and the Coccyx lifts up. IIn the exercise, however, your tailbone sinks beneath your body and your pubic bone rises, the exact opposite of a hollow back.

Exercise for the chest muscles without a band

Stand loosely sideways in the door frame or next to a shelf
Your left side is being exercised
Your left arm is stretched (the elbow remains stretched during the exercise)
Your hand is positioned so that the palm is facing upwards and the thumb is pointing backwards (easier version with thumb up and palm on the wall)
Imagine: On the palm of your hand there would be a tray with glasses that must not fall down
The edge of your little finger presses into the door frame or against the shelf
Your shoulder stays low and does not pull up to the ear
Your gaze is directed forward
Your chin sinks slightly towards your sternum, making a double chin
All arm heights from low to high can be practiced
Repeat exercise with the other side

A notice:
If you experience tingling in your fingers, hands, or arms during the exercise, stop the exercise and choose a different arm height later. All arm heights, from low to high, can be practiced.

Exercise for the chest muscles with band

(EMS: Settings/Mobility/activate front chain)

Attach the tape to the window handle or alternatively to the door handle so that it cannot slip off
Both sides are practiced simultaneously
Stand with your back to the band attachment
Take the band loosely in both hands (hands go into both loops)
Move forward a little until the band is slightly taut
Your thumbs point backward and your palms face up (for the easier version, your thumbs point up and your palms face forward)
Your toes press into the ground, as in the exercise for the hip flexors
Shift your weight slightly onto your toes so that your heels become a little light without actively lifting them
Straighten your knees loosely
Your pelvis may move slightly forward over your feet (but not as far as in the hip flexor exercise)
Your chin sinks slightly towards the sternum, making a double chin
Imagine: on the palms of each hand there would be a tray with glasses that must not fall down
Your shoulders do not pull up to your ears

Move your chin towards your sternum as far as possible with the back of your head leaning back
Make a double chin

alternatively:

Sit comfortably on a chair with a headrest or car seat
The back of your head is leaning (and remains leaning during the exercise)
Move your chin as far as possible towards your sternum with the back of your head leaning back
Make a double chin

This exercise is primarily a perception exercise; in this position your head should be in the optimal position in everyday life, namely above your body.

How often does he walk to the front of the PC in his daily life?

Exercise for the neck muscles

Now your hands come into play: It is important that they do not pull on the head, but are simply placed loosely on the back of the head, they weigh the head down a little with their own weight
Your hands can either be clasped or just place the fingertips on
Now the back of your head gives a light and constant pressure against the hands backwards and upwards
Your hands only hold and do not pull on the head
A “cat’s hump” in the area of the back of the neck may occur
Your hands only prevent the head from rising again while he applies the slight pressure
Your back neck muscles are lengthened and at the same time also become active

A notice:
Your hands should neither pull nor tug on your head, and the pressure on the back of the head should be gentle and moderate. Stop the exercise slowly if you experience pain or dizziness during the exercise. If you experience acute pain or discomfort in the neck or throat area, perform the exercise. not through.
