In this article, we will be exploring the what’s, how’s, and when’s of diPulse wearables and answer your questions along the way!

What does NMES really do?

NMES technology is unique in that it optimizes the benefits of training to the maximum. It is a non-invasive training and workout system that provides an extra boost to your everyday training workouts without the need for weights. It can also help you enhance muscle performance through a variety of programs focused on strength and endurance whilst avoiding any extra stresses to your joints. Finished your workout? A diPulse NMES kit can help you minimize post-training fatigue or assist you in overcoming those training plateaus when using massage or recovery programs.

Why is diPulse different from other NMES companies?

Using NMES has previously been quite a task as it involved leads and wires to attach sticky electrodes (that have a short life span) to a cumbersome device. As a result, electrical stimulation has largely been used while static (you can’t for example go for a run with these devices on) and with limited use and benefits. Here, diPulse has essentially provided a game-changer. Their compression tops and tights are made from smart textiles with integrated, anatomically placed electrical stimulation points giving you the ability to improve your physical and mental wellbeing through a contemporary and innovative approach to training.

What areas are great for uses for diPulse

The great thing with the diPulse smart wearables is that they can target almost all body areas in a no-fuss, flexible way and bring you the effect you need. Use the SMART BELT for strengthening your core, the SMART STRAPS to target limb muscles, the SMARTKNEE for active recovery, or the super popular SMARTSKIN to get full body results in no time.

How can I use diPulse in my everyday workout?

The diPulse philosophy is simple: equal importance is paid to performance and post-training recovery and diPulse has designed its products to perfectly facilitate both. Using NMES technology during your recovery time is the revolutionary, science-backed way for effective muscle recovery in less time. diPulse products such as the SMARTSKIN or the SMARTBELT can be a great all-around warm-up tool to get your muscles ready for a workout day. A great feature of the products is that it only takes one push of a button to choose a different program from the app to make them a great recovery tool instead. You can even enjoy a relaxing massage!

I am new in the fitness game; can I still benefit from diPulse?

No additional hard work, no weights, no gym.

Can I use diPulse for building muscle?

Absolutely! “NMES is safe and can increase muscle mass and functional properties of limb muscles - The best way to build muscles is through movement,” says Tor Ahman, diPulse collaborator and coach. “With diPulse you can increase the intensity of the muscle engagement, for example when doing exercise repetitions, this way you work the muscle in a more efficient and beneficial way than you when applying external forces, building muscles more rapidly. You can achieve hypertrophy in less time and without putting excessive force through your joints”, he notes.

I am doing some serious training for a competition; how can diPulse help me?

diPulse wearables are flexible and can be used to target your personal needs at any time. You can use them to warm up before a demanding workout or wear them as you exercise to double the impact. Once you are done, don’t forget to actively recover simply by choosing one of the specific programs in the App.

What specific diPulse app program is good for active recovery?

diPulse expert Victoria Sparkes suggests you aim for the Capillarization program. "After you've played a sport or worked a particular muscle group really hard, the Capillarization program can be used to increase blood flow to the area and help remove lactate through active recovery. This way the muscle can get back to full working capacity quicker than in a passive recovery situation. Any of the diPulse massage programs are also really useful when activating Type I muscle fibres which are considered the drivers of lactate removal during active recovery”, she notes.
