Tua Silver is an electronic device expressly conceived for induced muscular exercise centred on training, hardening and toning up the muscles of the body and the slimming of fatty areas.
It works on the principle of electrostimulation, meaning electric impulses applied by means of electrodes to the skin, directly on the muscles, which contract rhythmically and perform real and true physical exercise.
As we have seen, muscular exercise induced by electrostimulation is particularly effective because it can be intense and selectively targeted on single muscle groups (something hard to achieve through active physical exercise).
Exercise Programs
Tua Silver features a total of 6 work programs offering specific body exercise. These programs have been specially designed by a team of experts in order to meet all specific requirements, in accordance with the electrical parameters and goals to be achieved.
Most of the programs described consist of 3 work phases: warm up; training; cool down. At the end of each work phase, Tua Silver automatically switches to the next phase. The duration of the programs is preset as is the duration of each single phase.
Tua Silver permits skipping the very-low frequency warm-up stage and going straight on to the work stage (this may be desirable when two programs are used consecutively and warm-up has already been performed during the first program).
1. SLIM – program for reducing adipose zones Localised adiposity, caused by bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, is an increasingly more widespread problem universally acknowledged as producing considerable aesthetic damage, but also as being bad for the health.
The way to reduce adipose is to regulate the energy balance and this is possible in just two ways:
- reduction in energy intake, i.e., food
- increased energy consumption, obtainable by raising the metabolism, muscle activity or temperature.
The excito-motor action of the SLIM program with its specific frequencies and fast exercise (short contractions followed by equally short pauses for relaxation), comparable to aerobic workouts, submits the treated area to a dynamic muscular activity, which results in a considerable increase of local blood circulation and consequent rise in temperature. This results in increased energy consumption (without any strain).
2. TONE - program for toning and firming the body Loss of skin and muscle tone is a natural occurrence, because during the course of the years, our skin gradually tends to become less elastic and lose water. This results in its being less taut and firm. Because we also become more sedentary as we grow older, our muscles lose volume and tone.
Along with these tendencies, tied to ageing, other occurrences must be taken into consideration like pregnancy, the sudden putting on of weight and slimming, cellulite and hormone climactic, all factors capable of causing an alternation of stretching and relaxing harmful to the elasticity of the skin.
Tua Silver's TONE program is able to provide really focussed body sculpting using the action of the excito-motor current which optimises trophism and muscular tone and drains liquids which have built up in the tissues.
3. LIPOCELL-The LIPOCELL program gets rid of waste substances that tend to intoxicate cells (catabolites), thereby favouring liquid retention, by means of the trophic and capillarising action of the specifically used frequencies.
Finally, the lipolytic action of this program is targeted on triggering energy mechanisms that use fatty acids as substrate for biochemical reactions, thus favouring their elimination.
The LIPOCELL program is also effective for treating cellulite.
Cellulite is an unsightly defect based on defective primary microcirculation, leading to alteration of the adipose tissue and connective fibres.
4. MASS - Specific program for building up muscle mass and strength; the hypertrophic action of this program helps restore volume and trophism to the area involved.
5. M-STRENGTH - The M-STRENGTH program is specific for strengthening muscles, especially the para-vertebral and latissimus dorsi. Electrode positioning for all the muscles is mirrored with respect to that indicated for excito-motor electrostimulation
6. RELAX - This program is expressly conceived to decontract and relax the muscles (eg. cervical area, upper trapezium and muscle alongside the spine). Muscle contraction causes tensions in the connective fibres which, on hardening, prevent the intra-dermal exchange required for normal function of the muscle masses. Tua Silver’s RELAX program acts on the contracted areas of the body and improves blood flow. It also relaxes taut and stiff muscles and facilitates the quick neuro-muscular re-adaptation of the area.
Tua Silver Electrostimulation
In human beings, muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system by means of electro-chemical impulses conveyed through the nervous system.
Voluntary brain-marrow-muscle triggering
The electro muscle stimulator is an appliance able to generate specific electrical currents that cause muscle contraction by substituting the impulses generated by the central nervous system.
In this case, the current is applied at the point where the nerve ends come into contact with the muscle cells (neuromuscular plate).
Triggering by electrostimulation
By modulating a series of variable parameters like the frequency of electrical impulses, duration of contraction and recovery, etc....various programs can be obtained useful for achieving different goals, strengthening muscle power, toning up beauty treatment, right up to the decontraction of injured and contracted muscles.
Besides the correct positioning of the electrodes (see attached table), care must also be given to choosing the right program for the result to be achieved. On this in fact will depend to a great extent the success of training through induced electric stimulation.
Tua Silver conveys special low-intensity currents to the muscles and tissues by means of electrodes. Such currents are controlled and totally safe and are able to cause the passive contraction of muscle fibres and increase the flow of blood in the areas involved.
Rotofit System
To achieve deep and effective muscle stimulation, it is most important that the muscle groups be exercised taking into account their shape, size and position.
ROTOFIT is the patented system for immediately positioning the electrode pairs on the various muscle groups according to their natural anatomy.
The electrodes in each pair slide along the flexible support clip, to move them closer together or farther apart.
The sliding, distance adjustable electrode pairs can be rotated on their pivot to any angle.
ROTOFIT is curved to adapt to the curved parts of the body and flexible to adapt to the flat parts.
The electrode pairs slide back and forth on their strap, to vary the distance between them.
