    ELECTRO-STIMULATION SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR APPLICATION TO SPORTS GROUPS
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention is part of the field corresponding to the techniques of electrical stimulation of muscle groups, used mainly in the field of sports and health. More specifically, the invention relates to a system of electrostimulation that can be integrated into garments, sports accessories and electromedical applications of preferential application to groups of athletes for carrying out group sports electrostimulation activities, where said electrostimulation is controlled centrally and wirelessly. . It can also be used in environments
    15 toilets for muscle recovery work.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Muscle electrostimulation (EEM) or electrical neuromuscular stimulation (ENE) is the
    20 way to perform physical-muscular exercise using electrical impulses. For the generation of said impulses, devices are used that are applied, by means of electrodes, on the skin next to the muscles that one wishes to stimulate. The impulses thus mimic the electrical potential of action from the central nervous system, causing muscle contraction.
    25 At present, various techniques and systems of full body muscular electrostimulation are known, which are fundamentally oriented to the practice of sports activities and the improvement of physical fitness, or "fitness." Likewise, there are also various medical applications of electrostimulation, mainly in the
    30 field of physiotherapy, muscle and neuronal recovery, and pain treatment.
    Through numerous medical, technical and bio-sports studies, it has been found that electrostimulation has, among others, the following advantages: -Provides a greater and faster increase in localized muscle tone 35 (buttocks, abdominals, thighs, etc. ) than other training systems.
    - It allows to obtain a greater muscular volume than that obtained with training based on overloads. -It contributes to a greater increase in explosive strength than that obtained only with voluntary training. 5 -Constitutes a means of effective application of therapeutic massages, ideal for the recovery of injuries (heavy legs, contractures, etc.). -Allows regenerate and oxygenate tissues more effectively than through other types of training. -It contributes to the disappearance or reduction of pain (cervicalgia, low back pain, 10 epicondylitis, etc.). -It favors the increase of local resistance by fiber transformation
    slow intermediate. -Help reduce the appearance of injuries and fatigue in athletes. -Substantially reduces training times due to their effectiveness
    15 improved compared to other techniques.
    In recent years, the general use of these techniques has become popular, thanks to the commercial launch of various equipment capable of simultaneously stimulating different muscle groups. These teams are based on sports suits that 20 incorporate a series of electrodes applied to each of the muscle groups, where these suits are connected to a user-operated console, and where it chooses which muscle groups to work and with what intensity in each moment. This type of electrostimulation, preferably oriented to physical activity groups, is not only passive, but the subject, while being electrostimulated, performs a series
    25 exercises in the place of the activity. Thus, the electrical impulses applied enhance the activity performed by the individual, achieving better results in less time.
    The technologies known in this area, so far, are based on a central console
    30 managed by an operator or trainer, a main connection that links the user with said console and the user's own suit. Examples of such technologies are the training products marketed by the Xbody or Miha Bodytech companies.
    35 Although the aforementioned products provide different formulas for the application of electrostimulation to sports activities, all of them still have technical problems that limit the use and performance of activities carried out by users or by their trainers. These technical problems are essentially the
    following: The known systems depend on a central console connected by cable to the
    5 user, which severely limits its freedom of movement(typically, restricted to a radius of approximately 1.5 m) and the versatility ofthese systems, being difficult to transport and of low adaptation to differentsports modalitiesThey have an absence of autonomy, which does not allow its widespread application to
    10 outdoor sports practices, or "outdoor". Given its configuration and dependence on a central console, the operator or coach can only control the activity (and, therefore, training) of one user at a time. Known systems have a limitation in terms of groups
    15 muscles (channels) that are capable of stimulating, not exceeding ten of these groups.
    The present invention is intended to solve the technical problems listed, by means of a novel electrostimulation system suitable for application to groups of 20 athletes, operated by wireless means.
