PEAK PERFORMANCE
Electro muscle stimulation for athletic performance
01. The challenge
Increasing athletic performance can be a challenge for many people. As we get older, our bodies naturally start to break down and are less efficient at utilising energy and nutrients to reach peak performance levels. This can lead to a decrease in strength, endurance, and overall physical fitness which makes it difficult to achieve significant gains in sport or exercise.
Here are 5 of the most common struggles those trying to increase athletic performance face:
- Physical Limitations: Overcoming the inherent physical limitations, such as genetics, body composition, and physiological characteristics, that may affect an individual’s athletic potential.
- Training Plateaus: Dealing with periods where progress stagnates and breaks through plateaus by modifying training strategies or seeking guidance from coaches or trainers.
- Injury and Recovery: Recovering from sports-related injuries, which can impede progress, require time, patience, and proper rehabilitation. The frustration and fear of re-injury can affect motivation and hinder improvement.
- Mental Challenges: Developing mental resilience to cope with pressure, stress, self-doubt, and performance anxiety. Building mental skills, such as focus, confidence, and coping strategies, is crucial for consistent improvement.
- Balancing Rest and Overtraining: Striking the right balance between training intensity and rest to avoid overtraining, which can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and increased injury risk. Finding the optimal balance for recovery and adaptation is essential.
02. The solution
Studies have proven over and again how consistent exercise and good nutrition can have a positive impact on athletic performance. Training should be challenging on some days and restorative on others, refuelling with high protein, slow releasing carbohydrates and healthy fats and taking the recovery days required to give your muscles and body time to regenerate.
With a good plan in place here are 5 of the things you can expect out of increasing your athletic performance;
- Improved cardiovascular health: Exercise helps to strengthen the heart and lungs, which can improve your ability to perform at a high level for longer periods of time.
- Increased muscle mass: Exercise can help to build muscle mass, which can give you more power and strength.
- Improved flexibility: Exercise can help to improve your flexibility, which can help you to move more freely and prevent injuries.
- Better coordination: Exercise can help to improve your coordination, which can help you to perform complex movements more smoothly and efficiently.
- Reduced stress levels: Exercise can help to reduce stress levels, which can improve your focus and concentration.
In addition to these benefits, exercise can also help to improve your overall health and well-being. It can help to reduce your risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. It can also help to improve your mental health, by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Top celebrities and athletes have been using EMS to increase performance and improve physique including Tiger Woods, Raphael Nadal, Tom Holland, Cindy Crawford and many others as EMS training has been shown to have a number of benefits for athletic performance, including:
- Increased muscle strength: EMS training can help to increase muscle strength by up to 30%. This is because EMS can stimulate all of the muscle fibers, even those that are not typically activated during traditional exercise.
Improved muscle endurance: EMS training can also help to improve muscle endurance by up to 20%. This is because EMS can help to train the muscles to work for longer periods of time without fatigue. - Reduced risk of injury: EMS training can help to reduce the risk of injury by strengthening the muscles and improving flexibility. This is because EMS can help to prevent muscle imbalances, which can lead to injuries.
- Faster recovery: EMS training can help to speed up recovery from workouts by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation. This is because EMS can help to improve blood flow to the muscles, which helps to remove waste products and deliver nutrients.
Overall, EMS training is a safe and effective way to improve athletic performance. It can be used by athletes of all levels, from beginners to professional athletes.
Here are some additional benefits of EMS training:
- Increased metabolism: EMS training can help to increase metabolism, which can lead to weight loss.
- Improved posture: EMS training can help to improve posture by strengthening the muscles that support the spine.
- Reduced stress levels: EMS training can help to reduce stress levels by releasing endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.
