Muscle Stimulator Workout Machine

What is the average calorie consumption per muscle stimulator workout machine training unit?

Scientific data on the actual calorie consumption through muscle stimulator workout machine training have only been available for a short time. Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Kemmler from the University of Erlangen has investigated the actual energy consumption of muscle stimulator workout machine training. Well-trained young men completed a 16-minute EMS strength training session. Kemmler’s results showed 16 minutes = 412 kcal. Converted to a 20-minute Bionic EMS training session, this results in 515 kcal. Compared to other popular sports that also last 20 minutes,muscle stimulator workout machine training is well in the lead!

The following orientation values apply for 20-minute using muscle stimulator workout machine:

EMS training = 515 kcal

Rope jumping (fast) = 300 kcal

Climbing = 275 kcal

Football = 250 kcal

Track and field (hurdles) = 250 kcal

Judo = 250 kcal

Boxing = 225 kcal

Jogging = 210 kcal

Handball = 200 kcal

Badminton = 175 kcal.

Important! Not only the calorie consumption within a training unit is significant. The increased turnover during the regeneration phase, the so-called excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), also plays a decisive role in the effectiveness of the training. Due to the increased metabolism and intensity of EMS training, scientists assume a strongly prolonged afterburn effect that lasts up to 48 hours after the EMS training session. Therefore, the above values should be set multiplied by 2 or 2.5 respectively.

Since women usually have less muscle mass than men, women should multiply the orientation value 515 kcal by 0.75 = 386 kcal during the EMS training session and 772 kcal (386 x 2) including afterburning effect.

Furthermore, it should be noted that in addition to gender, age and weight are also taken into account in the calculation of energy consumption, depending on the determination method of. The higher the weight of the user, the higher consumption will be. In addition, the metabolic rate usually decreases with age. Furthermore, the higher the selected intensity over a defined period of time, the more muscles, range of motion and dynamics (functional exercises) are included, the higher the energy turnover and thus the calorie consumption should be. Depending on the setting and exercise selection, values higher than 515 kcal are probably possible.
