Settings under “Parameters”

The parameters are already preset with default settings. If you click + or –, you can vary the parameters highlighted in black.
The following programs (“modes”) are already preinstalled on the eaglefit EMS System App:

Fitness

Please select the setting “4/2,” meaning a pulse duration of 4 seconds and 2 seconds rest. Ideally, you contract the muscles for 4 seconds during training and relax them for 2 seconds.

The fitness program is optimal for building large-volume white skeletal muscle. It increases your maximum strength and promotes muscle growth. Your white skeletal muscle is best trained with 6-8 repetitions per muscle group at about 80% of maximum strength. The impulses are applied to the respective muscle group at a frequency of 85 Hz without stressing joints, ligaments, or tendons with heavy training weights. The pulse width in this program is 350 µs.

Fitness training should be combined with exercises and can be well supported, for example, with sling training or HIIT training.

Recommended training:

• Strength/weight training
• few repetitions (6-8)
• 1 set per muscle group

Metabolism/Cardiovascular

Please select a rest time of 0 seconds for continuous pulse. The pulse duration setting then does not matter.

The metabolic program that trains the red endurance muscles can be specifically used for muscle toning. It is our classic endurance/athletics program. The activation of slow-twitch muscle tissue burns fat and increases muscle definition. The training frequency is 7 Hz with a pulse width of 350 µs. 

This program is ideal for warming up and improving blood 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 intensity too high)

Relaxation

Please select the setting “1/1”, 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 restoration after illnesses. At a training frequency of 100 Hz and a pulse depth of 150 µs, tension is released and muscles are supplied with nutrients.

You can use the relaxation program for 5-10 minutes after an intense workout (with or without EMS) or after a tiring day for 10-30 minutes at a moderate intensity, 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 depth, pulse duration, pause, and training duration) with this program. Frequencies from 1-120 Hz and pulse depths from 50 – 400 µs are possible here.

Deep Core for deep muscles near the spine

This training program is specially designed for gentle but targeted strengthening of the deep muscles near the spine. The goal is to activate the deep stabilizing muscles in the back to relieve the discs and support the spine in the long term.

Mode of action:
The program creates a consistent alternation of muscle tension and relaxation. The moderate impulses at 27 Hz primarily improve muscle endurance and stability. The comparatively long pulse duration ensures an intense yet gentle load, while the short breaks allow for even blood circulation and regeneration.

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

Video training

In this program, you can have training exercises demonstrated by an avatar and create a small training plan from pre-made exercises. The special feature is that you can choose a different frequency and impulse depth for each training. Simply hold your finger over the desired exercise for 2-3 seconds until the preview image lifts, then you can drag it into the row below and arrange it. You can also remove exercises from the row in the same way.

fat burning

Please select the “4 / 2” setting, meaning 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 with 60 Hz for maximum strength, and during the passive phase (pause), the endurance muscles are stimulated with 7 Hz. This way, you alternately challenge both muscle fiber types in one program.

explosive strength

Use this program for muscle building. The special feature here is that 100% of the set impulse intensity is delivered from second 1 (ramp=0). This setting is especially effective for athletes with explosive movements (e.g., golf), ball sports, or reactive sports.

mobility

The app setting for eaglefit HOME EMS 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 training is designed for gentle muscle stimulation to improve flexibility , range of motion and neuromuscular coordination to improve without excessively straining 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 sustained movements and stretching exercises.
• Long impulse duration (350 µs): This reaches deep into the muscles, which is especially beneficial for muscle length training and mobility exercises.
• Gentle impulse strength : The intensity is individually adjustable and chosen to create a noticeable but pleasant muscle tension – ideal to support mobilization without pain or exhaustion.
• Dynamic impulse patterns (front and back chain) : You can optionally activate the front or back chain with just one click. This way, you automatically feel and activate the right muscles.
• Duration of intervals : With this preset, you activate the selected muscle chain for 30 seconds each and can take the other position during the 15-second break. Training ideas for muscle length training 

Purpose of the setting:

EMS support during mobility exercises helps, loosen tense muscles , improve mobility and through the additional neuromuscular activation also the Effectiveness of the training to increase – especially in combination with targeted stretching and mobilization exercises.

Pulse depth

With “pulse depth,” you can set how long the impulse you set under “frequency” lasts. This value can only be configured in the “Individual” parameter. A single electrical impulse can last 50-400 µs.

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

Pulse duration

Duration of the impulse in seconds, adjustable from 1-40 seconds (indicated by a green number counting down during training).

Pause

Length of the break during training, 0-40 seconds (indicated by a red number counting down).

Training

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

Frequency

The number of impulses per second. For example, in the training program “Fitness,” the muscles contract and relax 85 times per second.

Putting on & taking off

The eaglefit HOME EMS Suit is available in sizes XXS to 4XL. It is important to choose a perfectly fitting size so that the electrodes lie close to the body. The Suit can be used as both a dry and a wet Suit. When used as a dry Suit, it is worn directly on bare skin, without underwear or other (sports) clothing. The electrodes do not need to be wetted; they should be placed directly on the muscles to be stimulated. Due to the close contact with the skin, optimal transmission of the current to the muscle is ensured.

For the electrodes of the dry Suit to transmit energy through your skin to your nerves and muscles, a very thin moisture film is required. For some skin types, it is enough to wear the Suit for 2-3 minutes, while other skin types need to warm up for 5 minutes with jumping jacks, burpees, or sit-ups before the impulse strength can be increased. If the moisture film is missing, you may feel an unpleasant, slight stinging on the skin surface. In this case, reduce the impulse strength on that muscle group and do some more jumping jacks or squats before increasing the intensity. With heavy body hair or very dry skin, stimulation may be impaired. In this case, you can lightly moisten the skin in the affected areas with a cloth or use our electrode spray.

The eaglefit HOME EMS Suit is closed with the zipper on the back. Simply close the zipper using the attached cord and pull it up with the other hand at the bottom end of the zipper. This tightens the zipper and allows you to easily pull it up by the cord. At the bottom end, there is a small, square fabric patch attached to the suit with a Velcro fastener. You can remove this, place the zipper cord over the Velcro, and reattach the fabric patch. This prevents the cord from dangling during training. If the suit does not fit well in some areas, you can purchase Velcro straps for the arms and legs in our shop or use the supplied hip belt for the lower back to press it against the skin in those areas. Alternatively, you can wear tight-fitting clothing over the eaglefit HOME EMS Suit to achieve the same effect.

After training, open the zipper and the eaglefit Roll the HOME EMS Suit inside out to remove it. Then wash the suit according to the washing instructions or hang it on a clothes hanger.

The training/exercises

General rule: If you feel unwell, the training must be stopped immediately and a doctor consulted if necessary. Never train if you feel unwell or are sick.

Also in case of problems or malfunctions of the eaglefit HOME EMS Systems must stop the training. Contact the manufacturer in case of technical malfunctions. 

1. Warming up

Before an EMS training session – as with any fitness training – the muscles should be prepared for the upcoming load. Warming up leads to the following effects:

• The conductivity between electrodes and skin increases with light sweating
• Increase in core body temperature
• Improvement of energy supply processes in the muscle
• Increased production of joint lubricant
• Increase in motivation and concentration on the upcoming training

We recommend a short endurance session to warm up, for example some jumping jacks, burpees, or 3-5 minutes on a stationary bike.
Here you can already set and activate weak impulses.

2. Training/Exercises

In general, you can perform all movements and workouts with the eaglefit HOME EMS Suit in dry weather both indoors and outdoors. Your imagination is the only limit. Jogging, boxing, yoga, training with Sling-Trainer, functional training, HIIT, or training with your own body weight. Only moisture (e.g., rain) should be avoided with the suit.

As a suggestion, the eaglefit The HOME EMS Suit includes an exercise poster showing exercise options for the entire body using your own body weight.

3. Stretching

After the workout session, you should stretch for 2-3 minutes – possibly combined with the “Relaxation” program.

Stretching has the following effects:

• Reduction of muscle tone
• Improved breakdown of metabolic products
• Improved muscle regeneration
• Promotion of mobility
