DESCRIPTION
The Sport-Elec Multigym Pro is a multi-use electrostimulator. Recently seen in many TV commercials, we had to test this device and give you our impression. Here is the assessment that we made of it.
History
Sport-Elec, today Sport-Elec Institut, was founded in 1986. This company is based in Bourgtheroulde, France. Specializing in the sale of high-end products for beauty institutes and aesthetic practices, in 1994 it chose to focus on the manufacture and sale of mass-market electro-musculation devices. Initially sold by mail order, Sport-Elec quickly found success in the large distribution networks and has since experienced strong growth. In 1996, the Sport-Elec product line was completed with the arrival of specific products suitable for each type of clientele. Today, Sport-Elec is one of the widest ranges of electro-musculation equipment for beauty, sport and health, sold in specialized sports areas or small household appliances. Sport-Elec creates, develops, clinically tests and markets electro-musculation products for professionals and the general public as well as products for well-being, body care, beauty ... Its products are designed for men and women who want to firm, sculpt, slim their body and take care of it. Meeting all the standards in force, Sport-Elec offers you total security concerning the quality of the products that we offer.
How it works
Electrostimulation consists of transmitting a variable electrical impulse (duration and intensity) to different muscles through electrodes. The electrical impulse causes the muscular contraction of the chosen muscle or muscles without the central nervous system (brain) being involved. The reaction is similar to what occurs during exercise, but the contraction remains passive, the nerve information not coming from you. Formerly by wires, now by waves, electricity travels from the portable unit to the electrodes where the muscle is stimulated. By varying the duration and intensity of the electrical impulse, it is possible to choose the type of session (strength endurance, mass gain, tone, firming up, recovery, etc.) with extreme precision.
Description
The Sport-Elec Multisport Pro is a general public electrostimulator which has the particularity of offering both electrodes to be placed on the parts you want to target but also a removable belt. This semi-professional quality electro-stimulation device is also well suited for physiotherapists, athletes or amateurs. Great performance thanks to these 4 catches, these 14 sports and health oriented programs (including 344 program variations).
Programs offered: Sports-oriented programs: skin preparation, restoration of muscle volume, increase in muscle volume, muscle resistance, muscle endurance, muscle tone, explosive strength, and overall muscle recovery . Health oriented programs: massage, muscle relaxation, active recovery, endorphins, skin toning, vascularization.
Multifunctional, the device works either with 8 adhesive electrodes or with the belt supplied. The belt has integrated “new generation” electrodes (patented SPORT-ELEC® system). With this device, the device more precisely targets different muscles. It can be used on the abdominal muscles, buttocks, thighs, arms, back, calves.
The pack contains 1 MULTISPORT PRO device, 1 multifunction belt, 1 electrically conductive gel 75 ml, 8 adhesive electrodes (89x50 mm), 1 charger, 1 connector, 1 storage bag and 1 user manual . The gel provided improves the contact and the efficiency of the stimulation and the pot can be used for approximately 30 sessions.
Finally, the site gives consumers detailed information about the functionality of their products. The Sport-Elec is sold on various e-commerce sites on the Web like Amazon.com for $ 179. Other sites offer a 14-day free trial before purchase.
Overall the Multisport Pro is a complete, good quality, and practical device. The instructions are a bit sketchy (see really insufficient) and it still takes some time to adapt to its operation and discover all its features. But when you get the hang of it, it's easy to use. The tools provided, 8 electrodes and 1 belt, allow the Multisport great versatility. Thanks to this complete device, the user can work different muscle groups in an efficient and targeted manner. The programs offered are on the whole suitable, and sufficiently diverse to meet the needs of users.
Efficiency & amp; fields of use
In terms of performance, this Multisport Pro, like most electrostimulation devices, is effective on sagging skin, maintenance and muscle definition. As for weight loss, it will unfortunately be of no use (see the abdominal belt & weight loss section below). This device can also be used as part of the treatment of back pain, or other muscle pain. Consult a health or sports professional beforehand for possible recommendations and contraindications.
Abdominal belt & amp; Weight Loss
The abdominal muscles are one of the smallest groups of muscles. Therefore, working out this muscle group will not effectively burn enough calories for weight loss. On average, a 70 kg person burns only 5 calories per minute while doing vigorous sit-ups. This is twice as much when you work your lower body muscles (exercising on an elliptical trainer or standard bike) for example.
The case has the advantage of not being too heavy which allows it to be used and taken anywhere. In addition, its material is very pleasant to the touch. The device has good battery life since with normal use the battery lasts between 10 and 15 sessions. Unlike the Compex brand devices, Sport-Elec almost always provides a box of gel with its products. The gel provided improves contact and stimulation efficiency and lasts approximately 30 sessions. However, once finished, you have to buy a new one.
Regarding the price, the Sport-Elec Multisport Pro and the Compex Sport Elite are the best value for money on the market. You will have noted all the same, the Sport-Elec is sold more than 2 times cheaper than the Compex (around 180 € against 400 € for the latter) which is explained by the content, the functionalities and the purposes of the two devices.

BOTTOM LINE
The Sport-elec Multisport Pro is a consumer electrostimulation device that emphasizes aesthetics and plastic. Complete, well thought out, fairly intuitive, it will adapt to most user needs. On the other hand, the Multisport Pro is not an electro-stimulator. The product helps tone and firm the skin, work on definition and muscle strengthening but has little or no influence on weight loss and mass gain. Suitable for a wider range of users than the products Compex, Sport-Elec devices are also much more affordable.
So certainly the use and the level of performance are not the same either, but for amateur sportsmen and for the use that the Most of it uses an electrostimulator, this device is more than suitable. In short, it is a good additional equipment that we recommend to athletes and occasional users wishing to benefit from the benefits of electrostimulation without breaking the bank, in addition to an appropriate diet, and regular sports practice.
