Faster, more efficient training
Due to time constraints, many endurance athletes face challenges in incorporating strength training into their routines. BODYTEC addresses this issue with efficient and effective 20-minute training sessions using the innovative SYMBIONT Smart Training System.
The system’s Tec Suits use electrodes that send low-frequency electrical signals to muscles, resulting in more intense contractions compared to traditional strength exercises.
These exercises engage all major muscle groups simultaneously for a full-body workout, eliminating the need for separate training sessions for different muscle groups.
The wireless and Bluetooth-powered Smart Training Device integrated with the Tec Suits measures essential body metrics such as pulse, calorie burn, heart rate variability, and muscle activation. This data provides valuable insights into training progress, allowing both athletes and trainers to make informed adjustments during training sessions.
The wireless feature ensures freedom of movement, enabling athletes to focus on sport-specific exercises tailored to their needs, whether they are runners, cyclists, or golfers, or participate in team sports.

Targeted training stimulus
Exercises during the EMS training session can be customised to enhance strength in areas crucial for athletes, such as the legs, hips, and abdominals for cyclists, resulting in smoother pedalling and improved performance.
EMS training with the SYMBIONT Smart Training System brings a range of benefits to athletes. It increases power output by activating fast-twitch muscle fibres and enhances overall muscle strength.
Moreover, it improves strength endurance, enabling muscles used during endurance activities to maintain contraction force for more extended periods, leading to enhanced performance.
The training also boosts core strength, enhancing balance, posture, and stability, while increasing flexibility improves the range of motion and reduces the risk of injuries. By targeting underutilised muscle groups, EMS training strengthens areas prone to weakness, reducing the risk of common athletic injuries.
On-going research and development
BODYTEC remains committed to staying abreast of the latest research on whole-body EMS training, continuously seeking to improve outcomes, applications, and health benefits.
Exciting developments are underway for the SYMBIONT Tec Suits and Smart Training System, including the ability to measure heart rate recovery rate, and body fat percentage, and perform stress tests or jump tests, providing members with first-hand data to further optimise their training.
