1. Familiarization

Functional Principle of the Abdominal Toning Belt

The abdominal toning belt works on the basis of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).

The muscle stimulator generates gentle electrical pulses which pass through your skin to the muscles.

As with natural activation by nerve pulses, the muscle fibres contract when the belt is used and then

relax again. The stimulus is less specific than with active abdominal muscle toning, however, and

use of the abdominal toning belt thus cannot replace actual active training entirely.

Electrical muscle stimulation is used for muscle training in the field of sports and fitness to achieve a

powerful, slim and attractive body. Application areas include

warming up muscles

– muscle definition

muscle and skin toning

– muscle relaxation

EMS is also used in rehabilitation. If persons are forced to rest, regular muscle stimulation helps

maintain the mobility and muscle strength of the inactive body part. Rehabilitation time can be

significantly reduced as a result. As the tendons and joints are only minimally stressed, this training

method is particularly gentle.
