Sarcopenia EMS Strength Training at Feel Electric
Beth Hayton2022-07-04T09:36:14+00:00How EMS Training Strengthens Muscle Retention
As we age, we experience loss of all kinds but muscle loss or sarcopenia can be debilitating. In our forties we start to lose skeletal muscle mass and skeletal muscle strength; as much as 3-5% of your muscle mass every decade after 40 in fact. For physically inactive people sarcopenia can start as early as age 30. That muscle loss can have a significant impact on your daily life with a decline in your functional strength for tasks like pulling and lifting and lead to frailty and disability. Sarcopenia can also lead to rheumatoid arthritis in women and increase the risk of type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
But we don’t just have to accept this muscle loss. With EMS training at Feel Electric you can combat sarcopenia and muscle loss very effectively.

What Causes Sarcopenia Muscle Loss
While ageing is the most common cause of muscle loss, other factors can impact sarcopenia.
- Immobility: If you’re leading a sedentary life, like sitting at your desk all day, and not staying active through exercise like EMS training that will lead to faster muscle loss and increasing functional weakness.
- Unbalanced diet: If you’re not working with our personal health advisers at Feel Electric or eat an unbalanced diet, you are at greater risk of sarcopenia. Not eating a diet that provides sufficient healthy calories and protein will soon lead to a weakened muscle mass.
- Inflammation: After you’ve been injured or endured a serious illness, inflammation sends signals to your body to reconstruct the damaged groups of cells. When you have long-term injuries or sickness the inflammation can disrupt the normal cell rebuilding process, resulting in greater muscle loss. With EMS training that muscle cell reconstruction happens faster than with conventional exercise.
- Stress: Sarcopenia can be also increased by health issues that impose physical stress on your body like chronic heart disease or cancer treatments.
EMS Adds Muscle to Your Fight Against Sarcopenia
So how do you fight back against sarcopenia? Exercise like EMS training is the most effective way to reverse sarcopenia. How? Our EMS sessions increase muscle mass and strength without putting any additional stress on your body. The type of training that EMS exercise provides cause muscle cells to grow, reinforces existing weakened muscles and repairs injured muscle tissue. Just one weekly EMS session will activate over 90% of your muscle fibres compared to less than 30% in a gym. EMS training can target the deep muscle layers that are hard to reach with conventional workouts, so you can increase both maximal and dynamic strength to combat sarcopenia.

Overcome Sarcopenia Inflammation with EMS Training
When your muscles are inflamed, it’s difficult to do any exercise and difficult for your body to repair injured muscle cells or tissue. Dealing with inflammation can in fact be a real pain! But it’s a lot easier with EMS training. The electrical pulses used in EMS training combined with gentle exercise help to engage, repair, and strengthen weak and injured muscles without putting any strain on your joints. Our Electro Muscle Stimulation devices also activate over 90% of your muscle fibres so wherever the inflammation is EMS session will reach it. That’s why EMS treatment has been a standard tool for physiotherapists for over 20 years.
