From my own personal experience...I just ran the NYC marathon on Nov 4th. .... when I got back to my hotel, I did active recovery* on my hamstrings, calves, and quads. By the time I left the hotel at 7pm that night, my legs were feeling great. ... I'm already back to running normally within the week after. All my other marathons I would have been out of running for at least 2 weeks! - Dustin -11/15/2007

EMS allows to fine tune muscles toward  the development of force, endurance, and faster recovery from sport performance and muscle soreness. More details ...
