Right? Well, we are going to answer all these possible questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color:#52c3f1\" class=\"color\">WHY IS EMS TRAINING SAFER THAN YOU THOUGHT?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Understanding safety as the absence of danger or risk<\/strong>, we can distinguish two different types of safety in our training with EMS training: <strong>Device safety (connectivity) and physiological safety for our body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Device security (connectivity)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The safety of the training will depend on the type of connectivity<\/strong> between the device and the tablet or remote control that your EMS training equipment has. With an unstable connection, you run the risk of the user leaving the training session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A poor connectivity may result <\/strong>in the tablet not being able to communicate directly with the EMS training machine, causing the user to be unable to change the machine&#8217;s parameters. Imagine that the user is overwhelmed, wants to lower the intensity and cannot. In this case, the training experience will be negative and useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have previously commented, <strong>the connectivity<\/strong> between the electrostimulation device and the remote control or tablet should be <strong>by means of a connection that is as stable as possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emsrevolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/wirelessfondo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27139\" width=\"450\" height=\"298\"\/><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the <strong>three existing types of wireless connection<\/strong> (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and radio frequency), we recommend t<strong>he use of radio frequency<\/strong>, because it is the most stable electromagnetic wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If, in addition to using a radiofrequency connection, your EMS training equipment is of the third generation, you will avoid these connectivity problems,<\/strong> since the electrostimulation device is <strong>completely independent of the tablet<\/strong> or remote control, thus avoiding problems associated with wave instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not understand the third generation concept well, you have a whole lesson dedicated to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Physiological safety for our organism<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aspect of great importance is the doubt that arises in reference to our health. <strong>Is electrostimulation equipment safe for our body?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A first important fac<\/strong>t to know is that <strong>the stimulus used for muscle contraction is an electric current<\/strong>.
