| Abstract | ||
| Recently, the use of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) suits during exercise has become widespread, as they save time. As the trainee only needs to exercise for 20 minutes twice a week to train all the muscles of the body, instead of exercising for an hour daily. It is a sports suit embedded with a number of electrodes. The electrodes emit electrical pulses that help to stimulate the body's cells and muscles with less effort and in a shorter time, the trainer can increase or decrease the intensity of the pulses and determine the amount of electrical stimulation for the muscles he wants to target more, depending on the nature of the trainee's body. This study examined the design of electrical muscle stimulation suit, its use, and the results of training while wearing it to measure the effectiveness of the electrical stimulation suit as a type of smart and functional clothing. Then a lower-cost electrical muscle stimulation suit was designed and tested and its effect on the body was conducted after using it for 12 sessions, twice a week for 20 minutes. The results showed the effectiveness of this suit in reducing weight, decreasing fat percentage, controlling body measurements, and significantly improving muscle activity. | ||
