Available settings under “Parameters”

The parameters are already preset with initial settings. By clicking + or –, you can adjust the parameters highlighted in black.
The following programs (“modes”) are already preinstalled in the eaglefit EMS SYSTEM app:

Fitness

Please select the “4/2” setting, meaning a pulse duration of 4 seconds and a 2-second pause. Ideally, tense the muscles for 4 seconds during training and relax them for 2 seconds.

The fitness program is ideal for building large-volume white skeletal muscle. It can increase your maximum strength and promote muscle growth. Your white skeletal muscles are best trained with 6–8 repetitions per muscle group at approximately 80% of maximum strength. The impulses are delivered to the respective muscle group at a frequency of 85 Hz, without placing excessive strain on the joints, ligaments, or tendons through heavy training weights. The pulse width in this program is 350 µs.

Fitness training should be combined with exercises and can be complemented, for example, with suspension training or HIIT.

Recommended training:

• Strength/dumbbell training

• few repetitions (6–8)
• 1 set per muscle group

Metabolism / cardiovascular system

Please select a pause time of 0 seconds to create a continuous impulse. The pulse duration setting is then irrelevant.

The metabolic program, which primarily trains the red endurance muscles, can be used specifically for muscle toning. It is our classic endurance/athletic program. Activating slow-twitch muscle tissue can break down fat and increase muscle definition. The training frequency is 7 Hz with a pulse width of 350 µs.

This program is ideal for warming up and improving circulation and metabolism. Metabolic training should ideally be combined with endurance exercises such as:

• Nordic walking
• Jogging
• Cycling
• Exercises on cardio machines
• Yoga
• Static exercises (do not set the intensity too high)

Relaxation

Please select the “1/1” setting, meaning a pulse duration and a pause of 1 second each.

This program produces gentle muscle twitches and promotes muscle recovery, faster regeneration and is also used for functional rehabilitation after illness. With a training frequency of 100 Hz and a pulse width of 150 µs, tension can be relieved and the muscles supplied with nutrients.

You can use the relaxation program for 5–10 minutes after an intense workout (with or without EMS), or for 10–30 minutes at moderate intensity after a strenuous day, for example simply on the sofa.

Choose a low intensity here—the impulse should provide a pleasant, massaging sensation.

Individual

Choose the settings individually according to your preferences or therapeutic recommendations.
Advanced users can freely adjust all parameters (pulse frequency, pulse intensity, pulse duration, pause, and training duration) with this program. Frequencies from 1–120 Hz and pulse intensities from 50–400 µs are available.

Deep core for the deep muscles close to the spine

This training program is specifically designed for the gentle yet targeted strengthening of the deep muscles close to the spine. The aim is to activate the deep stabilizing muscles in the back to relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs and provide long-term support for the spine.

How it works:
The program produces an even alternation between muscle tension and relaxation. Moderate impulses at 27 Hz primarily improve muscular endurance and stability. The comparatively long pulse duration ensures an intensive yet gentle workout, while the short pauses enable consistent blood circulation and recovery.

Application area:
- Support for back pain associated with disc problems
- Strengthening of the deep core muscles
- Prevention of poor posture and muscular imbalances
- Suitable for beginners as well as people undergoing rehabilitation

Video training

In this program, you can have an avatar demonstrate training exercises and put together a small training plan from a selection of preconfigured exercises. What makes this special is that you can choose a different frequency and pulse intensity for each workout. Simply keep your finger over the desired exercise for two to three seconds until the preview image is highlighted; you can then drag it to the row below and arrange it. You can remove exercises from the row in the same way.

Fat burning

For this setting, please select a pulse duration of 4 seconds and a “pause” of 2 seconds. In this special program, you combine the benefits of the fitness and metabolism programs. During the active phase, you train at 60 Hz for maximum strength, while during the passive phase (pause phase), the endurance muscles are engaged at 7 Hz. This way, you challenge both muscle fiber types alternately in a single program.

Explosive strength

You use this program to build muscle. Its special feature is that 100% of the set pulse intensity is delivered from the first second (ramp=0). This setting is particularly effective for athletes with explosive movement patterns (for example, golf), ball sports, or reactive sports.

mobility

The app setting of eaglefit EMS SYSTEM the app for mobility training is based on a special EMS program specifically designed to support muscle-length and mobility training (Mobility) was developed. The workout is designed for gentle muscle stimulation to flexibility, range of motion and neuromuscular coordination to improve without placing excessive strain on the muscles.

Characteristics of the app setting for mobility training:

• High frequency (120 Hz): This supports gentle muscle activation without strong contractions and is ideal for continuous movements and stretching exercises.
• Long pulse duration (350 µs): This reaches the muscles deep down, which is particularly beneficial for muscle-length training and mobility exercises.
• Gentle pulse intensity: The intensity can be adjusted individually and is selected to produce a comfortably noticeable muscle contraction—ideal for supporting mobilization without pain or exhaustion.
• Dynamic pulse patterns (front and rear chain): You can activate either the front or rear chain with just one click. This automatically allows you to feel and activate the right muscles.
• Interval duration: With the preset, you activate the selected muscle chain for 30 seconds at a time and can move into the other position during the 15-second pause. Training ideas for muscle-length training 

Purpose of the setting:

EMS support during mobility exercises helps relax tense muscles, improve mobility and, through additional neuromuscular activation, also Workout effectiveness to increase—especially in combination with targeted stretching and mobilization exercises.

Pulse depth

“Pulse depth” allows you to set how long the pulse configured under “Frequency” lasts. This value can only be configured in the “Individual” parameter. A single electrical pulse can last 50–400 µs.

The higher this value is set, the deeper the pulse penetrates the muscle. This allows you, for example, to optimally target large muscles such as the thigh, gluteal, or back muscles with a pulse depth of 350 µs.

Pulse duration

Duration of the pulse in seconds, adjustable from 1–40 seconds (represented by a green number that counts down during the workout).

Pause

Pause duration: 0–40 seconds (symbolized by a red number counting backward).

Training

For most training programs, we recommend a duration of approximately 20 minutes per session.

Frequency

The number of impulses during one second. For example, in the “Fitness” training program, the muscles are tensed and relaxed 85 times per second.

How the electrodes on the forearms and calves work:

The farther we move away from the center of the body, the more sensitively the muscles respond to electrical impulses, and the more moderate the intensity should be. For this reason, on the CONNECT Suit, the forearm electrodes are linked to the biceps control, and the calf electrodes are linked to the hamstring control. Even without separate control, the forearms and calves are already activated via nearby nerve pathways. The additional electrodes specifically amplify this natural effect, allowing the forearms and calves to be trained effectively and comfortably at the same time—optimally integrated into the entire EMS workout.

Putting on and taking off

The CONNECT EMS components (Suit, Pants & Vest) are available in sizes 3XS to 4XL. It is important to choose a well-fitting size so that the electrodes are close to the body. The CONNECT EMS components can be used as both dry and wet components. When used as dry equipment, the product is worn directly on bare skin, without underwear or other (sports) clothing. The electrodes do not need to be wetted and should be positioned directly over the muscles to be stimulated. Close contact with the skin ensures optimal transmission of the current to the muscle.

For the electrodes of the dry equipment to transmit energy through your skin to your nerves and muscles, a wafer-thin film of moisture is required. For some skin types, wearing the product for two to three minutes is sufficient, while other skin types need to warm up for five minutes by doing jumping jacks, burpees, or sit-ups before the pulse intensity can be increased. If the moisture film is missing, you may feel an unpleasant, slight stinging sensation on the surface of your skin. In this case, reduce the pulse intensity for this muscle group and do a few more jumping jacks or squats before increasing the intensity. Heavy body hair or very dry skin may impair stimulation. In this case, you can lightly moisten the skin in the relevant areas with a cloth or use our Electrode Spray.

The CONNECT EMS Suit is closed with the zipper at the back, while the CONNECT EMS Vest has the zipper at the front. To make the Suit easier to put on, pull the zipper upward using the attached cord and hold the bottom of the zipper firmly with your other hand. This tightens the zipper, allowing you to pull it up easily by the cord. At the bottom, there is a small, square fabric patch attached to the Suit with a hook-and-loop fastener. You can remove it, place the zipper cord over the hook-and-loop fastener, and reattach the fabric patch. This prevents the cord from swinging back and forth during training. If the Suit or Pants do not fit snugly in certain areas, you can purchase hook-and-loop straps for the arms and legs in our shop or use the included hip belt for the lower back to press it against the skin in these areas as well. The Vest has various buckles that allow you to adjust its fit. Alternatively, you can wear tight-fitting clothing over the CONNECT EMS components to achieve the same effect.

After training, open the zipper and remove the Suit by turning it inside out as you roll it off. Remove the Pants in the same way, while taking off the Vest normally. Then wash your CONNECT EMS components according to the care instructions or air them out on a clothes hanger.

Training and exercises

Generally: If you feel unwell, stop the workout immediately and consult a doctor if necessary. Never work out if you do not feel well or are ill.

Training must also be stopped in the event of problems or malfunctions with the CONNECT EMS system. Contact the manufacturer in the event of technical malfunctions.

1. Warm-up

As before any fitness workout, the muscles should also be prepared for the upcoming exertion before an EMS workout. Warming up has the following effects:

• The conductivity between the electrodes and the skin increases with light sweating.
• Increased core body temperature
• Improved energy supply processes in the muscle
• Increased production of synovial fluid
• Increased motivation and focus on the upcoming workout

We recommend a short endurance session to warm up, such as doing a few jumping jacks, burpees, or three to five minutes on a stationary bike.
Here, you can already set and activate weak impulses.

2. Training/exercises

Generally, with the CONNECT EMS components, you can perform all movements and workouts both indoors and outdoors in dry weather. Your imagination is the only limit. Jogging, boxing, yoga, Sling training, functional training, HIIT, or training with your own body weight. Only moisture, such as rain, should be avoided when wearing the Suit.

As inspiration, your order includes a training poster showing exercise options for the entire body using your own body weight.

3. Stretching

After the workout, you should stretch for 2–3 minutes—if necessary, also combined with the “Relaxation” program.

Stretching has the following effects:

• Reduction of muscle tone
• Improved breakdown of metabolic waste products
• Improved muscle recovery
• Improved mobility
