Abstract

The use of XBody technology in Romania is a widespread social phenomenon due to which millions of people benefit from its positive effects. The purpose of this study is to develop lower limb strength through EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) technology using fitness exercises and XBody training equipment for the population of Bucharest and the population living around the capital city. Thus, we aim to provide these people with a healthier lifestyle by both developing their lower body muscles and getting them used to the regular practice of XBody training twice a week during their free time, under the supervision of EMS fitness specialists. Integrating people into society, into their group of friends and fellow workers is a priority for XBody experts from Bucharest, and this scientific approach wants to offer support to sedentary people. When designing the XBody programme for the development of lower limb strength, we will consider some principles and rules such as: Using the Wall Test to assess lower limb strength; Analysing health status; Analysing lifestyles through medical check-ups or cardiac investigations followed by own investigations; Adapting XBody programmes to current health status, physical fitness, daily schedule, and medical history. The methods used in this paper are data processing and interpretation; the comparative study of the information collected during the initial and final testing of the Wall Test applied to the participants willing to develop their lower limb strength because of XBody training. The analysis carried out led us to the conclusion that the development of lower limb strength was greatly improved through XBody technology.
