Agreement and Waiver of Liability for TECFIT Program.What is the TECFIT fitness program and how does it work?
TECFIT or Technology Fitness, also known as Whole Body Electro Muscle Stimulation (WB-EMS) is a type of electrical muscle stimulation that uses a suit that delivers electrical impulses to the entire body.The electrical impulses are designed to mimic the signals that the nervous system sends to muscles during physical exercise, causing the muscles to contract and relax. The idea behind WB-EMS is that it can provide a more efficient workout than traditional exercise, leading to faster and more significant improvements in strength, endurance, and overall fitness.Some key terms to understand when it comes to WB-EMS include:
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): A type of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the muscles.
Muscle contractions: The tightening and relaxing of muscles that occurs during physical activity.
Intensity: The strength of the electrical impulses delivered by the EMS device, which can be adjusted to provide a more or less intense workout.
Frequency: The number of electrical impulses delivered per second, which can also be adjusted to provide a more or less intense workout.
Benefits of WB-EMS include:
Improved muscle strength and endurance: The electrical impulses delivered by WB-EMS can cause muscle fibers to contract more strongly than they would during traditional exercise, leading to improved muscle strength and endurance.
Time-saving: WB-EMS workouts can be shorter than traditional exercise sessions, making it a time-efficient way to improve fitness.
Reduced joint stress: Since WB-EMS does not require weights or other equipment, it can be a good option for people who want to exercise without putting stress on their joints.
Risks and limitations of WB-EMS include:
Overuse injuries: As with any form of exercise, overuse injuries are a risk with WB-EMS. It is important to follow proper form and not overdo it with the intensity or frequency of the electrical impulses.
Not a replacement for traditional exercise: While WB-EMS can be a useful addition to a workout routine, it should not be seen as a replacement for traditional exercise. It is still important to engage in physical activity that includes aerobic exercise and resistance training.As a condition of my membership in the TECFIT program and use of its facilities, equipment, services and activities, I acknowledge and agree to the following:Physical Examination: Technology Fitness LLC or any commercial partner, representative, employee, trainer, manager, associate, and any other representing the company or TECFIT brand (TECFIT) urges all members to obtain a physical examination from their physicians prior to initiating any exercise program.
