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 main-
tain 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.
