Cramps bring about uncontrollable pain, while also bring about danger.
We found a rapid technology cited by sports scientists to eliminate muscle cramps, the Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). Based on research on cramp drowning victims, we found that for most junior swimmers, eliminating cramps by static actions is very difficult and can be deadly, which accelerate sinking with extremely nervous and consuming more oxygen. In the research, impulse foot band prototype can automatically eliminate cramps in less than one second by elicitation of muscle contraction, and help muscles recover quickly with swimming function.
