Every athlete wants to improve performance, gain a competitive edge, and maximize their physical potential. But between practice, recovery, and limited time, adding more training isn’t always the answer.
That’s where EMS — Electrical Muscle Stimulation — becomes the ultimate performance booster.
At BODY TIME, we work with competitive athletes across a range of sports — including cycling, athletics, football, and swimming — who use EMS to build explosive strength, correct muscle imbalances, and enhance endurance and recovery, all in just 20 minutes a week.
Here’s how EMS helps serious athletes improve performance quickly and safely.
1. Improves Muscle Activation and Power Output
During traditional workouts, athletes use only 40–70% of their muscle fibers at one time. EMS activates up to 98% of all muscles — including deeper stabilizing muscles — creating stronger and more coordinated contractions.
This leads to:
- Greater strength per movement
- Improved explosive power
- Higher muscular efficiency during sport-specific tasks
Whether you’re sprinting, swimming, or shooting, EMS improves the raw power behind every move.
2. Fixes Postural and Muscular Imbalances
Muscle imbalances are common in sports — and they can cause:
- Overuse injuries
- Poor form
- Limited performance
EMS corrects these by targeting weak or underused muscles, allowing athletes to build strength symmetrically. For example:
- Core stability for runners
- Glute activation for cyclists
- Shoulder control for swimmers
By improving neuromuscular coordination, EMS helps you move better, safer, and more efficiently.
3. Enhances Performance in Less Time
One of EMS’s most impressive advantages is how little time it takes. Just 20 minutes once per week delivers results comparable to hours of conventional training.
This makes EMS the perfect supplement to an athlete’s busy schedule — enhancing performance without increasing training load or risking burnout.

4. Supports Faster Recovery and Injury Prevention
EMS improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping:
- Reduce muscle soreness
- Speed up recovery
- Prevent chronic tightness or strain
That’s why EMS is used in our Injury Recovery & Rehabilitation programs for athletes returning from injury or managing pain.
It’s low-impact and safe for joints, while still producing high-level muscle stimulation.
5. Backed by Science and Used by Elite Athletes
Top-tier athletes and professional teams worldwide rely on EMS for performance enhancement. It’s used in:
- Strength & conditioning
- Rehab protocols
- Periodization training cycles
Decades of scientific research confirm that EMS training increases:
- Max strength
- Endurance
- Speed
- Jump height
- VOâ‚‚ max
Whether you’re training for a local competition or a global stage, EMS helps unlock your full potential.
6. Train Anytime — Studio, Travel, or Home
Consistency drives results — and EMS makes it easy to stay on track.
You can train:
- At our BODY TIME studios
- With our portable EMS systems at your home or training facility
- Or independently using iBody, the Smart EMS Home Training System
iBody, Made in Germany, uses intelligent cell activation (iCA) to deliver EMS training wherever you go — ideal for traveling athletes or off-season preparation.
